The National Phytotron is a controlled environment facility located on the Duke University campus. It houses 48 plant growth chambers and six controlled greenhouses -- a total of over 450 square meters of growth space -- and associated instrumentation and laboratories. Established in 1968 with funds from Duke and the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Phytotron was designed by leading scientists in controlled environment (CE) research and technology. The operation and maintenance of the Phytotron continues to be supported by both Duke and NSF in order to provide state-of-the-art CE technology at an affordable price to scientists in a variety of disciplines.
