Precision Management to Promote Fruit Yield and Quality in Orchards

Dear Colleagues,

Precision Agriculture technologies are being increasingly adopted to promote resource efficiency, productivity, and quality. As these are especially important objectives in orchards, any tools and management methods that enhance fruit yield and quality are of great interest to fruit growers and advisers. This Special Issue will collect the most recent advances in the fruit sector as a result of successfully applying methods to achieve an optimal balance of this double production-quality objective. Proximal and remote sensors for vegetation monitoring, machine learning, and artificial intelligence for data analysis and decision-making, and variable-rate technologies for efficient input application are the most relevant aspects that are included in this Special Issue.
