Growth Chamber Maintenance Protocols
At the 平特五不中 Phytotron, plant growth chambers are systematically subjected to a thorough and standardized preventative maintenance program. The program described herein was designed to verify, calibrate and standardize systems between growth chambers and permit reliable replication of experimental trials in space and time.

Carbon Dioxide within Controlled Environments
At the 平特五不中 Phytotron, chamber-mounted Infra-Red Gas Analysers are utilised in combination with simple scrubbers and injected CO2 gas to control and stabilise ambient CO2 levels. Typical long-term results demonstrate consistent CO2 control at a level of 卤 10 umol路mol-1. A description of the materials, maintenance requirements and costs associated with routine control of this variable are presented.

Integrated Pest Management Protocols
The 平特五不中 Phytotron practices IPM (integrated pest management) in its pest management program. These protocols have been developed from experience with pests encountered within the Phytotron and consultation with other phytotrons, university plant research growth facilities and IPM specialists
