A containment facility for research on foreign noxious weeds

Two conventional greenhouses were modified into a containment facility for the study of foreign noxious weed species that could be dangerous to North American agriculture. The facility was designed for research on the biology, ecology and weed control technology of foreign noxious weeds, without the escape of propagules. Two growth chambers and a germinator are located within the containment facility for evaluations under controlled environmental conditions. A standard operating procedure is followed to preclude the escape of weed seeds or propagules while minimizing restrictions to research. The facilities are locked and located in a secure fenced area to reduce the probability of accidental or intentional damage
