Our Advanced Controlled Environment facilities provide highly flexible, precision-managed growth conditions, enabling detailed investigation of plant responses under a wide range of environmental scenarios.
These facilities are central to understanding crop performance under both current and projected future climates.
What’s available
- Growth rooms, cabinets, glasshouses and polytunnels
- Programmable control of light intensity and spectrum, temperature, humidity and CO₂
- Capability to simulate abiotic stresses, including drought, heat, salinity and variable light conditions
- Parallel experimental configurations for multi-factor studies
- Ability to replicate environmental conditions representative of different geographic regions
Typical applications
- Climate resilience and stress-response research
- Pre-field validation of crop varieties and technologies
- Speed breeding and accelerated crop development
- Controlled evaluation of agricultural inputs and treatments
- Scenario testing for future climate and production environments
Value to partners
These facilities enable the design of predictive and reproducible experiments, supporting the development of crops and technologies adapted to evolving environmental conditions.
