Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With yearly population growth and the rapid development of the global economy, society is experiencing an increased demand for resources such as food and cash crops; as such, agricultural productivity has received attention. To achieve enhanced production and reduced environmental impacts, artificial intelligence and human–computer interactions have been gradually adopted over the last 10 years to aid in the cultivation of crops and fruits.
Assessment of crop growth and timely strategic responses to variations in crop production are fundamental challenges to address using artificial intelligence technology. Detecting, counting, and assessing individual crops allows the selection of appropriate horticultural practices such as the timely application of chemicals and precision irrigation scheduling.
With this Special Issue of Agronomy, we seek integrative studies that shed light on artificial intelligence applications for crops and fruits, such as detection, locating and picking, segmentation, yield prediction, and reviews that offer original perspectives on human–computer applications and theories on their relevant use in agricultural productivity. Furthermore, we encourage the submission of contributions that investigate the advancement of related technologies in agronomy, horticulture, agricultural robotics, and agricultural economics.
