Despite its rapid growth and economic success, the sustainability of floriculture industry as it is presently conducted debatable, due to huge environmental impacts initiates incurs. Achieving requires joint efforts from all stakeholders, a fact that often neglected in discussions frequently focus upon economically driven management concerns. This review attempts raise awareness collective responsibility among key practitioners by discussing context soil health, foundation agriculture systems. Major challenges posed health arise acidification salinization stimulated abusive use fertilizers. The poisoning biota pesticide residues plastic debris excessive application pesticides disposal plastics another significant issue concern. consequence continuous cropping obstacles are further elucidated concept plant-soil feedback. Based on these challenges, we propose adoption implementation several sustainable practices including breeding stress-resistant nutrient-efficient cultivars, making goal production, recycling overcome mitigate decline health. problems created flower waste materials highlighted efficient treatment biochar synthesis suggested.

Global warming has led to irregular precipitation patterns and various abiotic biotic stresses, resulting in unforeseen consequences for wildlife. Plant species are particularly vulnerable these global climate changes, struggling adapt the increasing stressors. Urban environments exacerbate challenges, further hindering plant survival growth. The declining number of climate- urban-tolerant is a direct consequence escalating stresses. However, resistance breeding approaches coupled with environmentally friendly technologies like biostimulants offer hope by expanding pool adaptable species. vegetation plays vital role mitigating urban heat island effect, supporting mental well-being among residents, preserving biodiversity. In this study, we comprehensively review recent research findings on topics focus publications from past 5 years. Emphasizing stress-tolerant ornamental plants including trees herbaceous becomes crucial establishing sustainable living practices. By incorporating resilient varieties into landscapes, can enhance ecological balance while improving overall quality both human inhabitants wildlife populations.

The production of Explorer roses has historically been attractive due to the acceptance product around world. This species presents high sensitivity physical contact and manipulation, creating a challenge keep final quality after cultivation. In this work, we present system that combines capabilities intelligent computer vision unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) identify state ready for uses deep learning-based approach estimate rose crop yields by identifying open closed rosebuds in field using videos captured UAVs. methodology employs YOLO version 5, along with DeepSORT algorithms Kalman filter, enhance counting precision. evaluation gave mean average precision (mAP) 94.1% on test dataset, rosebud results obtained through technique exhibited strong correlation (R2 = 0.998) manual counting. accuracy allows one minimize manipulation times used tracking cultivation process.
