An understanding of crop physiology and ecophysiology enables the horticulturist to manipulate a plant’s metabolism towards the production of compounds that are beneficial for human health when that plant is part of the diet or the source of phytopharmaceutical compounds. The first part of the book introduces the concept of Controlled Environment Horticulture as a horticultural production technique used to maximize yields via the optimization of access to growing factors. The second part describes the use of this production technique in order to induce stress responses in the plant via the modulation of these growing factors and, importantly, the way that this manipulation induces defence reactions in the plant resulting in the production of compounds beneficial for human health. The third part provides guidance for the implementation of this knowledge in horticultural production.

HORT 101: Management Guidelines for Young Supervisors is an invaluable resource for both university and junior college horticulture curriculums. No other management text exists today that is able to mesh current supervisory principles with an intimate day-to-day understanding of the Green Industry. By incorporating real-life scenarios that are firmly-based in the landscape, nursery, golf course/turf management and arboriculture professions, this text is able to greatly assist soon-to-be supervisors in working through a multitude of decision-making processes. Since students are encouraged to incorporate a broad cross-section of supervisory principles in problem-solving personnel issues; they will be much better able to effectively manage staff and be equally skilled in intertwining their managerial skills with the long-term goals of the organization.
