Plant Growth Facilities
Plant growth facilities are mainly located at the Agriculture/Forestry Centre campus. These facilities consist of 15 greenhouse compartments, 3 growth rooms, 2 plant tissue culture rooms, and approximately 40 plant growth cabinets. Each greenhouse compartment is connected to a computer-controlled automatic fertigation system and contains high pressure sodium lamps for supplemental lighting. Controlled temperature (5-300C) growth rooms and cabinets range from 0.4-14 square metres. The plant tissue culture rooms contain 48 square metres of lighted growing area, for tissue culture, molecular biology and biotechnology research.
