- List all others
Safety Issues With Method[edit | edit source]
- We have to make sure coco coir cups meant for growing and are stored in a place free of humidity to avoid mold.
- Instrument like tweezers used in the process of germination should be sterilized appropriately to avoid cross-contamination.
Personal protective equipment[edit | edit source]
PPE is to keep YOU safe so that you can keep doing what you want to do.

- gloves
- lab coat
SDS and other[edit | edit source]

- Standards should be found on door to the agrotunnel.
Equipment Name[edit | edit source]
- ICFAR- Agrotunnel
- Tweezers
- Seedling Trays
- Labelling pen/pencil
- Seeds
- Coco-coir cups
- Spray bottle
Light and Temperature Tolerances[edit | edit source]
- Light should be constant 24/7 throughout the cycle of the plants.
- Temperature should be constant at 19–22C° which is considered as favorable range.
- Block any source of external/secondary light.
Operation & Procedure[edit | edit source]
We need to collect all the required items needed for germination and planting
- Spray germination cups with water for proper hydration before germination.
- Place seeds 2-3 each cups with the help of tweezers.
- Label each cup to keep the track of germination per growing cup
Shutdown[edit | edit source]
We place them in the growing towers right after putting the seeds with our growing lights for germination.
