PLS 475a / 575a

Physiology of Plant Production under Controlled Environment

Instructors
Dr. Chieri Kubota (80%) 626-7937 (Forbes) 626-8833 (CEAC)

Course Description
Controlled environment agriculture is the most effective technique to maximize crop yield and to produce high quality products with limited amounts of resources and minimal impact to the environment. Students will learn the major environmental factors affecting plant growth and development under controlled environment and will understand interactions between plants and their microenvironments. Lectures cover critical controlled environment issues and practices of plant production in greenhouse, plant production factory, tissue culture vessels and postharvest storage, with an introduction to the current research status in these areas.

Prerequisite(s): PLS 360 (Principles of Plant Physiology)
