Principles of controlling the physical environment-temperature, light intensity, quality and duration, relative humidity-the selection and mixing of soil(s) for specific plants, water regimes etc. will be discussed. The interdependence between the external environment and the maintenance of the internal greenhouse environment that is desired will be quantified. Computerized control systems will be discussed and be demonstrated by visiting such a greenhouse.

Study of the climatic and soil conditions that underlie the regulation of the growth of certain plants in a particular physical region, and the importance of being able to duplicate these conditions in any artificial environment in which they are to be grown. Study of regional tastes in flowers, shrubs, and trees, including color, growth form, etc, that underlie the successful choice of plants that can be successfully marketed in a given area.
