Unreferenced date November 2006 Controlled environment agriculture CEA is any agricultural technology that enables the grower to manipulate a crop s environment to the desired conditions. CEA technologies include greenhouses greenhouse , hydroponics , aquaculture , and aquaponics . Controlled variables include temperature, humidity, pH, and nutrient analysis. In research, CEA is useful for isolating specific environmental variables for closer study. For example, researchers may study photosynthesis by comparing a crop from a greenhouse with special pane tinting with one that is not tinted. The advantage is that all other factors can be kept constant, reducing the incidence of another influence on the experiment. In commercial agriculture, CEA can increase efficiency, reduce pests and diseases, and save resources.

Polyculture is agriculture using multiple crops in the same space, in imitation of the diversity of natural ecosystems, and avoiding large stands of single crops, or monoculture . It includes crop rotation , multi cropping , intercropping , companion planting , beneficial weed s, and alley cropping . Polyculture, though it often requires more labor, has several advantages over monoculture The diversity of crops avoids the susceptibility of monocultures to disease. For example, a study in China reported in Nature journal Nature showed that planting several varieties of rice in the same field increased yields by 89 , largely because of a dramatic 94 decrease in the incidence of disease, which made pesticides redundant dn . ref http www.mindfully.org GE Rice Diversity Yield.htm ref The greater variety of crops provides habitat for more species, increasing local biodiversity . This is one example of Reconciliation Ecology , or accommodating biodiversity within human landscapes. It is also a function of a biological pest control program. Polyculture is one of the principles of permaculture .
