About SEAVEG 2019
The conference will highlight new technologies and approaches to produce high quality vegetable for a better human health. Advanced technologies such as sensor devices, machinery, precision agriculture and smart farming are currently being adopted to enhance vegetable production. These technologies strengthen the efforts taken by the breeders and horticulture scientist to improve crop yield and quality.
