This study focuses on several green planting and processing methods to analyze the impact of green cultivation and processing technologies on chrysanthemum emission reduction. Carbon emissions from traditional agriculture mainly come from fertilizers, pesticides, and the use of machines. Improving traditional agriculture to green technologies (such as organic farming, precision farming, or environmentally friendly processing methods) can reduce carbon emissions. These technologies can also make the soil healthier and save resources. Biochar is a material that improves soil fertility and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Precision farming advocates the rational use of water and fertilizer, which can also reduce waste. In the processing stage, chrysanthemums used to be dried with coal, but now they can be dried with solar dryers or energy-saving equipment, which can reduce chrysanthemum carbon emissions by 25% to 40%. In addition to the effect of reducing emissions, green technologies and methods can also make crops grow better, produce more, and be more environmentally friendly. This study also mentioned that government policy support and subsidies are also critical.

The flowers of chrysanthemum are of high value and are often used in traditional Chinese medicine for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects (Chen et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2020). Chrysanthemum is grown in many places in China, especially in Tongxiang City, where it has become an important part of local agriculture and economy (Chen et al., 2018). In addition to its medicinal uses, chrysanthemum flowers are also often used to make tea and can be made into various scented teas (Zhang et al., 2020; Li, 2024a). Traditional agricultural activities can cause a lot of carbon emissions. Cutting down trees and using chemical fertilizers will release a lot of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, making climate problems more serious and ultimately affecting the environment. If not managed properly, the cultivation of chrysanthemum may also aggravate environmental problems. During the cultivation of chrysanthemum, problems such as soil acidification and decreased fertility may sometimes occur. These problems can make soil quality worse, making it difficult to fix carbon in it (Chen et al., 2018). Reducing carbon emissions during the planting process is particularly important for environmental protection and the development of green agriculture (Li, 2024b). This study mainly analyzes whether green planting and processing technologies can actually reduce carbon emissions from chrysanthemum cultivation. Researchers have learned that some methods similar to biochar can improve soil and increase plant yields while reducing carbon emissions. This study hopes to find some practical strategies to reduce the adverse effects of chrysanthemum cultivation on the environment. We will also pay attention to the effects of water management on plant growth and medicinal ingredients. Better understanding of this information will help develop environmentally friendly and sustainable agricultural methods. We hope that this research can provide some new ideas for increasing agricultural production and protecting the ecological environment.
