Controlled Environment Agriculture
Plant growth rooms, climate chambers and incubators that hold temperature, humidity and light at the values an experiment needs, independent of the weather outside.
Climate Chambers & Incubators
Germination incubators, seed ageing boxes, seed storage cabinets, mould incubators, drying ovens and heat sterilisers.

Reproducible growing conditions for research and breeding
Controlled environment agriculture moves plant work indoors so that temperature, humidity, light, airflow and CO2 can be set and held precisely. Universities, agricultural research centres, plant breeding programmes and ministries use these facilities to germinate and age seed, raise seedlings, shorten breeding cycles, simulate heat, cold or drought stress, rear insects and conserve germplasm. In hot regions they also make year-round trials possible. ASFAN supplies, installs and supports walk-in growth rooms and benchtop chambers, and helps teams specify complete facilities around their research programme.
Controlled Environment Categories
Repeatable experiments
Programmed climate and light cycles let researchers repeat a trial under identical conditions, compare genotypes fairly and publish results that other laboratories can reproduce.
Faster breeding cycles
Extended photoperiods and optimised temperatures allow several generations per year, helping breeding programmes release adapted varieties sooner than field seasons alone would allow.
Year-round trials in harsh climates
Indoor rooms remove the limits of summer heat, dust and water scarcity, so germination, nursery and stress studies can continue in every month of the year.
Safe conservation of genetic resources
Low-temperature, low-humidity storage protects seed collections and breeding material, supporting national biodiversity and food security programmes over the long term.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a growth room and a climate chamber?
A growth room is a walk-in facility built around racks and lighting for many plants at once. A climate chamber or incubator is a self-contained cabinet for smaller batches, such as seed germination, ageing tests or microbial incubation.
Can the room parameters be customised?
Yes. Temperature, humidity, light intensity, photoperiod and optional CO2 control are specified for each project, within the ranges of the chosen room type, so the facility matches the crops and protocols you plan to run.
What information is needed to specify a facility?
Useful starting points are the crops or organisms, the experiments planned, the required temperature, humidity and light ranges, available floor space and power, and whether irrigation, imaging or remote monitoring is needed.
