Welcome to the Ferrarezi Lab!
This webpage shares miscellaneous information about my research and education program on Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Crop Physiology and Production at the University of Georgia.
I do research on precision irrigation, plant nutrition, lighting, biopharmaceuticals & biofortificants, crop physiology, hydroponics and cropping systems for indoor soilless cultivation. My group focuses on horticultural specialty crops including edible, medicinal, and ornamental plants in greenhouses and vertical farms/plant factories. My program investigates plant responses to different production factors and develops methodologies to maximize plant growth rate, development, morphology, and physiology and improve crop yield, quality, and profitability of horticultural crops in indoor systems.
I hope you found our website interesting. I would be very happy to answer any questions about CEA. Just follow me on the social media channels below.

Don’t miss this special opportunity to examine the history of Marc’s research and continued work by colleagues, to ensure his lessons in how to provide practical answers for commercial horticulture are not lost. #ASHS2024 #innovation #horticulture @ferrarezilab
Great research underlining the effectiveness & energy efficiency of a chlorophyll-fluorescence-based biofeedback system to integrate variable environmental factors in the greenhouse & apply them to adjust supplemental light intensities. #verticalfarming #ASHS2024 @ferrarezilab
Starting now! This study addresses the critical need for precise irrigation management in the greenhouse production of high-value ornamental crops. Don’t miss it! @ASHS_Hort @ferrarezilab @ugahorticulture @UGA_CollegeofAg
