Course Description
Students will learn principles, methods, and techniques related to the measurement and control of environmental factors affecting plant growth under controlled environment. Light intensity, light quality, temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, water, air current, and related factors are important environmental variables to measure and control since they determine plant growth and development. Students will learn application of instrumentation and design a simple system to control and measure environments for plant production systems.
