CO2 enrichment in greenhouse production: Towards a sustainable approach. [PDF]
As the unique source of carbon in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide (CO2) exerts a strong impact on crop yield and quality. However, CO2 deficiency in greenhouses during the daytime often limits crop productivity.

Efficacy of Biorational Products for Managing Diseases of Tomato in Greenhouse Production. [PDF]
Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea), late blight (Phytophthora infestans), powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica), pith necrosis (Pseudomonas corrugata), and bacterial canker (Clavibacter michiganensis) are major diseases that affect tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.

IoT-Based Sensor Data Fusion for Determining Optimality Degrees of Microclimate Parameters in Commercial Greenhouse Production of Tomato. [PDF]
Optimum microclimate parameters, including air temperature (T), relative humidity (RH) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) that are uniformly distributed inside greenhouse crop production systems are essential to prevent yield loss and fruit quality.

CROP MODELS FOR GREENHOUSE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS [PDF]
Although the physiological principles involved in the growth of greenhouse and field crops are not basically different, the development of models for greenhouse crops to some extent has followed its own way. This is mainly due to the specific characteristics of the crops and of the greenhouse production systems involved. Many important greenhouse crops

Greenhouse Emissions and Productivity Growth [PDF]
In this paper, we examine the effect of emissions, as measured by carbon dioxide (CO2), on economic growth among a set of OECD countries during the period 1981–1998. We examine the relationship between total factor productivity (TFP) growth and emissions using a semiparametric smooth coefficient model that allow us to directly estimate the output ...

Greenhouses require large amounts of energy, which is the dominant factor making greenhouses more emission intensive than open-field cultivation. Alternative heating systems, such as combined heat and power (CHP), biogas, and industrial waste heat, are ...

Astilbe and Coneflower Growth as Affected by Fertilizer Rate and Substrate Volumetric Water Content
Improved irrigation and fertilization practices, such as reduced applications, are needed to improve the sustainability of container plant production. The objective of this study was to assess growth of Visions astilbe (Astilbe chinensis ‘Visions’) and ...
