Adoption of AI technologies in horticulture — webinar recording

July 2020 | Dr Zygmunt Szpak | APAL webinar recording

This recording accompanies the APAL webinar slides on adopting artificial intelligence technologies in horticulture.

Dr Zygmunt Szpak discusses how AI methods such as machine learning and computer vision can be applied to horticultural problems when sufficient, representative data are available. The session helps distinguish useful automation and decision support from technology that is not yet robust enough for commercial reliance.

For growers and advisers, the key evaluation questions are practical: what problem is being solved, what data are needed, how accurate the system is under orchard conditions, and how the output changes a management decision.

The recording is a useful introduction for anyone assessing image-based monitoring, automated measurement or other AI-enabled orchard tools.
