Access to intensive cultivation room
On this page
The intensive cultivation room consists of four separate compartments where various plant materials can be grown. The plastic greenhouses are mainly used seasonally.
Sections A and B are equipped with heating and carbon dioxide supply, enabling intensive cultivation and the simulation of early spring conditions. Plants are grown in containers, and due to heating, these sections can be used year-round. In intensive cultivation rooms, seedlings can be made to flower at a very young age, as warmth, abundant light, and optional CO₂ enrichment accelerate growth and induce flowering.
In sections A–C, plants are grown in containers, and the limestone flooring enhances light reflection. Section D has a soil base, allowing cultivation on, for example, a peat substrate.
The service includes access to the platform for conducting research, equipment, and experimental arrangements carried out by professional staff. The service covers platform and equipment preparation, execution of agreed experiments and observations during the trial, sample and data collection, and, if needed, preprocessing in a support laboratory and delivery of results.
Sample collection
Observation of experiments, sample collection, and measurements.
