The University of Arizonas Controlled Environment Agriculture Center (CEAC) will host its annual Hydroponic Greenhouse Tomato Production Intensive Course Jan. 4 to Jan. 9, 2015 in Tucson, Arizona.

The course will focus on growing tomatoes hydroponically in a greenhouse and will be taught by hydroponic specialist Pat Rorabaugh, Ph.D., with a special lecture from controlled environment agriculture expert Merle Jensen, Ph.D.

The Tomato Intensive Course will begin with a tour of the CEAC facilities and the first lecture introducing CEA and hydroponics.
