Review
"Plant Factory is very useful for a beginner interested to venture into crop production using plant factory system. It provides a comprehensive information from all aspects of crop production under a housing or factory system, inclusive the design of the structure and lighting and their mantainance. I would recommend it to be used as a textbook for horticulture course on vegetables production system where land is limited such as in urban areas. The science or technical know-how is very strong as a lot of research has been conducted to support the claims. It is quite unusual for a book to even provide information on the training centre whereby a trainee can register himself or herself. As it mentioned, this system of vegetables production is rather costly and the economics or cost-benefit analysis should be included as one of the main topic in the book. Also, the risk or probability of failure of the entrepreneur investing in this system to succeed or make money should also be highlighted. Also, it will be quite useful to know the perception of customers or how to convince the customers to pay more for the vegetables produced in the plant factory." -- Prof. Dr. Che Fauziah Ishak, Universiti Putra Malaysia

Her areas of special expertise are in environmental stress physiology and plant production in controlled environment. Her current research areas include identifying drought and salt tolerant low water use plant materials for urban landscape, quantifying growth and physiological responses of crops to drought, salt and heat stresses, and determining the minimum water requirement for urban landscape plants for maintaining a healthy landscape while conserving water. In addition, Dr. Niu is also working on evaluating the salt and drought tolerance of a range of bioenergy crops and vegetables for the semi-arid region. As a researcher at an off campus research center, Dr. Niu closely works with county extension agents on local extension programs. She also collaborates with faculty members at the Department of Horticultural Sciences, other research centers, and colleagues at other universities on research programs and graduate student education by co-advising and serving as a graduate committee member.

This book is an absolute powerhouse for those wishing to open up an indoor hydro vertical operation. It goes into incredible detail for every single facet of such an undertaking, from the biochemistry of photosynthesis to the architectural layout of your warehouse/growing area. It's also clear that there are no ulterior commercial motives here, as they do not shy away from clearly stating that (ultra-expensive) LED systems do not offer any advantages over the much cheaper T5 fluorescents (with a specific light spectrum, of course).This, along with the works of Howard Resh will be all you need to have a firm grasp on hydroponic food production. And if you're still in doubt, read Dickson Despommier's "The Vertical Farm" for added inspiration.If I have to point out a single shortcoming it'd be that some of the sentences would have benefited from a native English-speaking editor. Everything is clear and no information is lost, but you can tell it was written by Japanese professionals. Again, not really a problem.
This is not an easy to read book full of generalities. This is hard core science research that goes far beyond what a casual reader will understand. I would say it is at the post graduate level and is a warehouse full of valuable data.
Not just data but links to other sources of information. It is defiantly a must have for the closed growing system manager.
Lets start by warning that this is a very technical book, not for beginners or "garage" farmers.I should have read this book a couple of years ago, would have save me from a lot of headaches.Lots of scientific background and in field experiments.
Alot of commercial level information in one book. Recommend.
This has a bunch of articles written by various authors. Has theory and formulas but they are really not useful
This book presents a biased view of closed plant factory. The economics analysis is not comprehensive at all, with assumptions not clearly stated. In addition, it assumes that the technology for conventional farming will stall while in reality, there's a lot of innovations in software being applied to conventional farming.
The content of the book is good. However, the quality of the book is sub-par. We placed the book in the library and has had very light use and a few pages are already falling out. It's an expensive book to already having issues with it. I just ordered a replacement copy since the first one is falling apart
