Greenhouse Operation and Management
I**D
Informative but dry!
This book is very helpful if you are interested in owning a greenhouse for commercial/professional or personal reasons. It covers every subject you can imagine with regards to greenhouse operations, so this is a great guide or reference to have in your library. This book is a bit dry and the author can be repetitive, but if you have any greenhouse question whatsoever, you can trust that the author discussed it in at least 3 places within the book.

This is the book we are using at NW Tarrant County Community College (TCC), it seems to be packed full of good info, a well rounded book. Our college has used this particular book for several years for our Greenhouse Management class.

Greenhouse Operation and Management
This book is a very good reference material for people wanting to know everything about operating and managing a greenhouse. The glossary is a little lacking but overall a good book.

Useful tables and charts explaining lighting
Solid information for commercial operation protocols, options for system layout. Useful tables and charts explaining lighting, fertilizers, soils, and oh so much more. Good value for the motivated grower wanting to better their craft and crop quality.

Dissapointed - Not much added info from previous editions
The original sections written by Nelson have NOT been significantly updated. New materials have been added by other authors, to only cerrtain chapters.. As with most scientific texts, new information emmerges making a recently published book soon outdated. There is little information on LED supplemental lighting, The section on lighting needs a major upgradeThis edition is BLACK and WHITE, making the plates of plant diseases almost useless. That is OK for me, as I have specific books on tgomato and greenhouse diseases.If you are using this book as a guide to diseases - you would be better off with the full color edition.
