which is an introduction to the technical aspects of greenhouse design,
environmental control, nutrient delivery systems, hydroponic crop
production, intensive field production systems, and post-harvest handling
and storage of crops. His research interests include controlled
environment plant productions systems [greenhouse and growth chamber]
research, design, development and applications, with emphases on: crop
production systems, nutrient delivery systems, environmental control,
mechanization, and labor productivity.
