Abstract

A proposal to the National Science Foundation’s Major Research Instrumentation Program was funded in 2014 to develop a plant phenotyping facility called the “Enviratron.” The Enviratron, located at the Ag Engineering/Agronomy Research Farm, Boone, Iowa, is a unique concept in which plant performance would be monitored under different environmental conditions, rather than a single environmental condition as is characteristic of other plant phenotyping facilities
