A wide ranging programme was planned, covering the principal areas where mathematical models or control engineering can have a major impact on agricultural and horticultural processes and their management. Emphasis was placed on applications of models and control in agriculture. Focal areas for the meeting included: models and control of post-harvest processing and grading, climate control in plant production and animal houses, mathematical models relating to the environmental impacts of agriculture, sensing and control methodologies appropriate to agricultural systems, information technology, impact of uncertainty and forecasting in models, demonstration of novel developments in software for agriculture and horticulture, and practical implementations of models and control. The meeting was structured to maintain maximum interaction between participants in the focal areas of the programme - and to permit presentations across a wide range, from control methodologies to practical implementation of models.

This book teaches the many mathematical applications used in crop production, livestock production and financial management in the agriculture business, skills which are essential for success as an agriculture professional. By giving readers a solid foundation in arithmetic, applied geometry and algebra as they relate to agriculture, the material presented will help develop their ability to think through the many mathematical challenges they will face. Case studies, sample problems, charts, and graphs fully illustrate the important concepts presented.

Greenhouse control system manufacturers produce equipment and software with hundreds of settings and, while they hold training courses on how to adjust these settings, there is as yet no integrated instruction on when or why. Despite rapid growth in the greenhouse industry, growers are still faced with a multitude of variables and no unifying frame

As biotechnology produces an unprecedented number of new plantvarieties, automated transplant production systems offer the means for their large-scale introduction via a rapid, efficient and economic method. As labour costs increase, so will automated systems assume even greater importance. Reforestation and afforestation projects, anti-des-ertification plantings and an increasing demand for urban greenery also create enormous demands for the mass production of high quality transplants, in addition to the commercial needs of the agriculture industry. The application of engineering techniques to modern micropropagation techniques and plant production means that many tasks can be automated, especially physical manipulation and close control of the microenvironment. This volume provides overviews of the main con-cepts -- plug seedling production, micropropagation, robotization, model development, measurement and environmental control -- with an emphasis on practical considerations. Examples are drawn from flower, vegetable and forest tree species to show how disciplines such as robotics and image analysis have a part to play in plant production.
