Outline and Purpose of the Course To improve yield and quality of greenhouse crops, I will explain relationships between environment and plant growth, and application of the relationships. The relationships should be understood as functions of environmental elements. The purpose in this course is application of these functions on greenhouse crop managements.
Course Goals Recently, improvement yield and quality of greenhouse crops have been required. To improve them, we should understand relationships between environment and growth. Based on the relationships, factors of limiting yield improvement and crop management will be cleared at the goal of this course.
Schedule and Contents Introduction: 1 session
Hierarchy of yield components and growth characteristics: 1 session
Relationships between environmental elements and plant growth: 2 sessions
Light interception by a crop canopy: 2 sessions
Prediction of growth and yield in a greenhouse: 2 sessions
Evaluation Methods and Policy Evaluation will be based on attendance to the class and a report on assigned topics. The report will be evaluated by consistent story and applicability on greenhouse crop management.
Course Requirements None
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Review on basic knowledge on greenhouse production and environmental control is desired before attending this course.
