Greenhouses and experimental devices platform

The Greenhouses and Experimental Devices Platform team aims to manage greenhouses and experimental devices (tunnels, growth  and phytotronics chambers, cold rooms…) and to provide research projects with plant material for experiments. The team is also involved in the design, improvement and building of prototypes.

This platform is internal to IGEPP and matches the demands of IGEPP teams and scientific programs.
