Operating Standards
The greenhouse staff’s duties include preparing the trays for sowing, watering and removing the plants, cleaning and sterilising the material, as well as carrying out the necessary phytosanitary treatments.
Material that has germinated outside the greenhouse is not accepted, except for material from axenic or in vitro culture.
All plant material to be discarded will be removed by autoclaving.
If it is necessary to carry out any phytosanitary treatment in the greenhouse or in any of its chambers, those interested will be notified 24 hours in advance.
The exchange of material between different greenhouse compartments without previously notifying the greenhouse staff is prohibited. Likewise, the exchange of material between the greenhouse and the cultivation chambers and/or phytotrons, and vice versa, is strictly prohibited.
