Currently, there is a need for new management practices for fruit
orchards in order to sustain the growth and productivity of various
fruit crops. In addition, due to the continuous growth in the
world's population, there is a demand for adequate food which is
produced from the same sources of water and soils. The main factors
limiting agricultural production are droughts and the population
growth; this makes it important to prevent fruit production from
being subject to climatic hazards. This book enhances the growth
and productivity of fruit trees through different techniques, such
as artificial intelligence optimization for soil conditioner,
site-specific nutrient management in orchards in fertilizing as an
application of smart agriculture, irrigation, modeling of
parameters of water requirements in fruit orchards, and up-to-date
trends in vineyard practices. The book also explores pest control
on orchards to increase the efficiency of pesticides and protect
the environment and discusses the shading of citrus orchards to
avoid negative impacts such as rising temperatures and heatwaves on
citrus productivity. Finally, the book discusses the carbon and
water footprint for various fruit orchards. This book is ideal for
researchers and academics of horticultural science, agricultural
organizations, fruit growers, and economics and data analyzers.
