Abstract

The progression of digital technologies is redesigning horticulture by allowing added proficient, accurate, and sustainable practices related to farming. This manuscript deals with a modern, usable approach to digital horticulture that merges AI, IoT sensors, as well as mobile-based decision support systems (DSS) to improve management of farms. By incorporating prognostic analytics, the move toward supports appropriate involvements in nutrient management, irrigation, in addition to control of pest, by this means improving production at the same time as dropping the wastage of resources. The acceptance of AI, remote sensing, IoT, and data analytics facilitates farmers to get better output, optimize resource utilization, in addition to making stronger ecological sustainability. Furthermore, the structure integrates climate-responsive approaches to progress flexibility aligned with ecological unevenness. This paper highlights how a reasonable incorporation of novelty along with usability can pick up the pace related to the implementation of digital horticulture as well as addition to sustainable agricultural improvement.
