Horticultural Engineering

Horticulture is the branch of plant science and agriculture that deals with the small-scale plantation of food, material, and ornamental plants. Horticulture plants include a wide range of plants that can be grown in gardens such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, medicinal, edible plants, and many others. 

Horticultural engineering is a branch of science that integrates agriculture, plant science, control theory, and computer science. Technologies in horticultural engineering are employed to improve productivity and develop efficient plant-growing systems. There are various horticulture divisions such as gardening, propagation, landscaping, floriculture, turf maintenance, garden design, and many more. Several emerging technologies have revolutionized the field of horticulture, such as automation in crop scouting, the use of drones for pest control, the adoption of vertical farming, the use of microorganisms as symbiotic organisms for plant defense, and the implementation of precision agriculture for better soil health and more productivity.
