Abstract

With the advancement of human knowledge and the emergence of a new technology called the Internet of Things, a great revolution has occurred in all fields. The agricultural industry did not stay away from this phenomenon and new technologies emerged in this field as techno-agriculture. Horticultural science as one of the sub-sectors of the agricultural sector has also been greatly affected by the advancement of technology. The most important new technologies that have been effective in the horticulture industry are the development of sensors, robots and drones, new post-harvest and packaging technologies, biotechnology and breeding, nuclear energy, nanotechnology, vertical flower-growing technology and anti-hail systems. In this article, after the description of these technologies, their pathology as well as the status of new technologies in the horticulture industry of Iran will be discussed, and finally, suggestions for the extension of new technologies in the horticulture industry will be presented.
