Orchard health encompasses the integrated assessment and management of tree fruit and nut crops, addressing factors such as pest pressure, disease incidence, soil quality, and physiological stress that influence productivity and longevity. Understanding orchard health is critical to plant science because it bridges fundamental plant biology—including host-pathogen interactions, nutrient uptake, and stress responses—with applied horticulture. Research in this area drives advances in sustainable cultivation practices, early detection of crop disorders, and the development of resilient varieties.
