Innovations in the Propagation of Horticultural Plants

Horticulture is a key component of modern agriculture, shaping how we produce food, cultivate plants, and enhance the aesthetic value of our environment. The advancement of innovative propagation techniques in horticultural crops is of growing importance and widely recognized due to its substantial benefits, positioning it as a vital component in achieving significant crop establishment, satisfactory yield and resources efficiency. Therefore is a growing need for innovative concepts and advanced technologies in the cultivation and propagation of horticultural plants, not only to enhance current practices but also to drive the development of new advanced cultivation systems.

This Research Topic is dedicated to advancing the scientific knowledge about the trends and innovation practices on the propagation of horticultural crops. By exploring a diverse array of best management techniques and innovation technologies we aim to uncover new insights and advance our understanding of different propagation solutions, which is critical for the successful crop establishment.

We welcome all types of articles, such as original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and mini-reviews, which discuss the complex of propagation management practices and strategies as well as environmental conditions on crop establishment.
