Lunch & Learn Topics

Understanding the precise conditions under which plants can grow and thrive is fundamental to addressing some of our most pressing global challenges, including climate change, food security and the need for more sustainable agriculture. Plant growth chambers play a pivotal role in these endeavors, enabling scientists to create precisely controlled environments that mimic a wide range of climatic conditions and advancing research in virtually all major areas of plant sciences. In 2013, two industry leaders came together – Conviron with its controlled environment chambers and rooms. Argus with its advanced control system technology. Today, both companies work in tandem supporting research centers of excellence like the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in its mission to advance the human condition through plant science.

Join us on September 18^th to learn more about:

• The synergies between plant growth chambers and advanced control systems that can help your research
• The science behind plant growth chamber design and why it’s important
• New software that enables you to stay in touch with your research from wherever you are
• Getting the most out of your investment in Conviron and Argus equipment and how to maximize their longevity
• And more…
