The following section reviews ways of controlling the aerial environment including lighting and atmosphere control. It is complemented by Part 3 which focuses on root development, looking at growing media, irrigation and nutrient management. The final part of the book summaries advances in systems monitoring and management, including the use of sensors, decision support systems and robotics to optimise efficiency. <p/>With its distinguished editors and expert authors, this will be a standard reference for crop scientists and engineers concerned with optimising the design and operation greenhouse and other forms of protected cultivation, particularly for horticultural produce.
