Short description

The main purpose of the glasshouse is for potato mini-tuber production with the Isolation room to be used for Virus Diagnostics. Given the vulnerable nature of the mini-tuber crop and its requirement to be virus free, it is essential that the isolation room is a completely sealed unit and therefore produces no risk of aphids / dust spores / water droplets etc. entering the main part of the glasshouse.
