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. \u003cbr\u003e  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. \u003cbr\u003e  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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792317975\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2785-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 335\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312730820748,"sku":"9780792317975","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792317975.jpg?v=1771529540","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792317975","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
