Enhancing Horticulture Through Controlled Environment Agriculture

Moein Moosavi, a third-year horticultural science doctoral student at NC State University, is making strides in the field of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) by enhancing the indoor propagation of strawberries and hydroponic vegetables. Recognized with the 2025 ASHS Outstanding Graduate Horticulture Student Award, Moosavi’s research optimizes plant yields through innovative indoor systems, achieving over 1,200 daughter plants per square meter, vastly exceeding traditional methods. His work, part of a USDA-funded project, aims to address challenges like low propagation efficiency and disease management. Beyond academics, Moosavi actively mentors peers and shares knowledge with growers, emphasizing the importance of applying scientific research to solve practical agricultural issues. His contributions bridge the gap between academic research and industry practices, shaping the future of global horticulture.
