The insectary chamber was made specifically for studying insect biology, life tables, and the relationship and interactions between host plants. Entomologists study insect rearing methods at this facility. The insectary chamber is used to produce a large number of beneficial insects that can help reduce the population of harmful and weedy insects. Special net screens are used to isolate the area, ensuring uniform temperature and humidity throughout. Different temperatures, humidity, and photoperiodic cycles can be maintained in accordance with the user’s requirements in the greenhouse for a variety of reasons, including different crop cycles.
