Plant Growth Chambers
Controlled environment rooms for plant research, breeding and crop production.
Plant growth chambers built around your work
Bosman Van Zaal designs and builds plant growth chambers for researchers, breeders and growers. These rooms let you set growing conditions around your plants, including temperature, light and humidity.
Each project starts with your crop and the work you need to carry out. For example, you may want to compare growing conditions or study how plants respond to changes. We then design the room and its systems around those needs.
Our solutions also include walk-in rooms for crop production and other plant applications.
Control the conditions around your plants
Plant growth chambers give you a dedicated space to manage the growing environment. The equipment and controls depend on your project.
- Set the climate: Manage temperature and humidity to suit your crop or trial.
- Plan the lighting: Set light intensity and day length for each stage of your work.
- Manage air and water: Include air movement, watering and CO₂ control where required.
- Record conditions: Monitor and log climate data to help your team review each trial.
- Fit your space: Choose a room layout that suits your plants, equipment and working access.
- Plan energy use: Consider insulation and climate equipment together as part of the design.
Plant growth chambers for research and production
Different projects call for different growing conditions. Our rooms can support a range of uses:
- Plant research: Study germination, young plant growth and responses to changes in the environment.
- Crop breeding: Compare plant traits under defined growing conditions.
- Seed production: Manage the environment around plants grown for seed.
- Crop production: Create dedicated growing rooms with controls suited to the crop.
- Plant conservation: Provide managed conditions for maintaining plant collections.
First, we discuss what you want to grow or study. We then define the room, equipment and controls needed for that work.
Choose a room for your growing process
- Tissue culture rooms
Manage light and climate around plant tissue cultures. Any hygiene requirements need to be included in the room design. - Germination rooms
Set temperature, humidity and light cycles for seed germination. - Growth rooms
Adjust light and climate as plants develop. - Flowering rooms
Manage day length and other growing conditions during the flowering stage. - Plant stress chambers
Create defined conditions to study plant responses. The required conditions and operating range form part of the project specification. - Drying rooms
Manage airflow and moisture removal during drying.
We also develop rooms for other uses, such as insect rearing and vertical farming. Contact us to discuss the conditions your application requires.
Complete plant growth chambers and supporting systems
We can install rooms within existing buildings or develop container-based solutions. The choice depends on your site, available space and intended use.
We also offer cultivation systems and robotics to support crop handling. Where needed, these can connect the growing rooms with later handling or processing steps.
