use traditional greenhouse production techniques to grow littoral aquatic plant species to meet market needs for these plants without costly infrastructure upgrades. With the exception of visual quality of blue-eyed grass, overhead irrigation did not
Wyoming, requires protection from potential frosts, high winds, and large day-to-night temperature swings. Greenhouse and high-tunnel production are potential ways to provide season extension and quality protection in the harsh Wyoming climate. Current
the study, only 6% noted that they would like to add biocontainers to their current production processes ( Hall et al., 2009 ). Similarly, research by Dennis et al. (2010) , reported that 12% of greenhouse growers acknowledged prior use of peat pots
The $147.8 billion U.S. green industry includes nursery and greenhouse producers, landscape service providers as well as wholesale and retail distributors ( Hall et al., 2006 ). The wholesale value of plant production by nurseries in the top 17 U
to 128 m 3 ·GJ −1 electricity. Little research has been conducted on the feasibility, methods, and costs of greenhouse and field production of jatropha in the United States. Jatropha is easy to propagate, hardy, and grows relatively fast ( Openshaw
similar trend occurred with plants grown in sand. Based on these analyses, greenhouse production of broadleaf sagittaria should include ≥2 g·L −1 of fertilizer and should use subirrigation, as that irrigation scheme yielded higher values for all
( Fereres et al., 2003 ). Although deficit irrigation plays a very limited role in floriculture production, ET reduction and irrigation water reclamation may have important implications for greenhouse growers, especially those intending to adopt
Worldwide energy consumption is greater now than any time in the past, leading to higher fuel prices and costly greenhouse production. This trend is expected to continue because of the increasing population and improving living standards
. Greenhouse spinach production is an alternative to traditional tomato production because it allows for multiple short-duration production cycles during the same time period as one tomato crop. Production cycles of 30 to 48 d for spinach are possible year
floriculture crop growth and development ( Boodley, 1996 ; Dole and Wilkins, 2005 ). Therefore, greenhouse crop production instruction must draw from a wide range of scientific concepts. Applying this broad body of knowledge to successfully solve problems and
