ABE 575A - Physiology of Plant Production under Controlled Environment

Institution:

University of Arizona

Subject:

Description:

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 post-harvest storage, with an introduction to the current research status in these areas. Graduate-level requirements include a research paper on a specific topic within plant physiology under controlled environment. The paper should be a critical review of the current literature on the topic chosen. Grading: Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E. May be repeated: for credit 1 time (maximum 2 enrollments). Identical to: PL S 575A; PL S is home department. May be convened with: ABE 475A. Usually offered: Spring.
