Horticulturists in commercial greenhouses often encounter challenges such as pest and disease management, maintaining optimal environmental conditions, and coordinating production schedules to meet market demand. Balancing the use of sustainable practices with efficiency goals can also be demanding. Additionally, working closely with other team members, such as growers and agricultural technicians, is essential for troubleshooting issues and ensuring healthy plant growth.
