ABSTRACT
In the previous chapters, the foundation is laid for the optimal control of greenhouse cultivation on the basis of the theory of optimal control. The solution of open-loop control was simplied by distinguishing two time scales. Simulation results showed the necessary optimal control actions under a priori known but realistic weather uctuations. Important insights were obtained regarding the potential benets of optimal control that integrates greenhouse dynamics and crop models, expressed in direct prot to the grower.
