Greenhouse Production Research Group

Mission: To conduct fundamental and applied research on production technologies, environmental conditions, pests and diseases, and abiotic stresses for controlled environment agriculture (greenhouses and indoor farms) while safeguarding the environment, plant quality, and worker safety. To transfer that technology to the industry through partnerships with state extension services and direct stakeholder interactions.
