Abstract

A computer program simulates the growth pattern of plants grown in a controlled environment such as a greenhouse. The program produces planting and harvesting schedules, a schedule of predicted yields, and a schedule of greenhouse space utilization, which permit the planning of a controlled growing environment which is capable of producing continuous predictable yields of agricultural product over predetermined time periods. This result is useful in producing commercially viable agricultural production during the times of year when field grown agricultural production is unavailable.
