What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? The developed Greenhouse Guidelines are intended to serve as a reference document for researchers, facilty managers, and students working with controlled environment plant production facilities. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? The Greenhouse Guidelines have not been disseminated yet. The previously developed guidelines for Growth Chamber and Tissue Culture Facilities have been printed and distributed among controlled environment facilities and researchers world-wide and have also been published in electronic form on the internet (available as a free download). The Greenhouse Guidelines will be disseminated similarly. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? We plan to print and distribute the Greenhouse Guidelines. We plan to publish the Greenhouse Guildeines in a scientific Journal.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
IMPACT The development of international guidelines for users of Growth Chamber, Tissue Culture, (the latter two were developed during previous years) and Greenhouse Facilities has several impacts: 1. Standardization of practices will better ensure that experimental results can be more easily understood and duplicated by other researchers at other institutions, 2. New users of these facilities will be able to follow standard practices and increase their understanding of the many inter-relationships of the various parameters affecting plant growth in controlled environments, and 3. Improved use of appropriate materials, control strategies, and sensing technology for plant growth research in controlled environment facilities. The impact of the guidelines is potentially world-wide. ACCOMPLISHMENT This project is organized as an information exchange activity involving research institutions, government agencies, and industry partners. The goal is to discuss matters related to the use of controlled environments, in particular growth rooms and chambers, for plant production. A.J. Both (Chair of the International Committee for Controlled Environment Guidelines) coordinated the development of a document titled “Guidelines for Measuring and Reporting Environmental Parameters for Experiments in Greenhouses” that is scheduled to be distributed among the NCERA-101 membership during the April 2014 annual meeting. This document is also scheduled to be published in a scientific journal during 2014.

Outputs
OUTPUTS: This project is an information exchange activity involving research institutions, government agencies, and industry partners. The goal is to discuss matter related to the use of controlled environments, in particular growth rooms and chambers, for plant production. The annual meeting was attended where a report was presented on the activities of the International Committee for Controlled Environment Guidelines. This committee developed and published international guidelines for growth chambers and tissue culture facilities, and is currently in the process of developing guidelines for greenhouse crop production (to be completed in 2012). PARTICIPANTS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period. TARGET AUDIENCES: Manufacturers and users of controlled environment plant growth chambers, researchers, students. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Not relevant to this project.
