As biotechnology produces an unprecedented number of new
plantvarieties, automated transplant production systems offer the
means for their large-scale introduction via a rapid, efficient and
economic method. As labour costs increase, so will automated
systems assume even greater importance. Reforestation and
afforestation projects, anti-des-ertification plantings and an
increasing demand for urban greenery also create enormous demands
for the mass production of high quality transplants, in addition to
the commercial needs of the agriculture industry. The application
of engineering techniques to modern micropropagation techniques and
plant production means that many tasks can be automated, especially
physical manipulation and close control of the microenvironment.
This volume provides overviews of the main con-cepts -- plug
seedling production, micropropagation, robotization, model
development, measurement and environmental control -- with an
emphasis on practical considerations. Examples are drawn from
flower, vegetable and forest tree species to show how disciplines
such as robotics and image analysis have a part to play in plant
production.
