Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Colorado Department of Agriculture, has secured State funding to expand, repair, and replace the greenhouses at the Colorado State Insectary located in Palisade, CO. The project will involve the construction of a new grow house with separated areas for small lab populations and upgrades to the two existing greenhouses on site. An evaluation of the greenhouses in Fall 2019 found that the existing greenhouse panels had yellowed to the point they only let in a fraction of the light they are designed to. Additionally, the benches where the plants are kept were rusting and unsafe, and the pads and frames for evaporative cooling needed significant repairs. The growing demands for biocontrol agents through the Request-A-Bug program and the insectary’s expansion of the biocontrol agents reared at the facility requires a major enlargement of the greenhouse space. A modern grow house will allow the Insectary to ensure that the insects, mites, and other biocontrol agents could be reared with a higher success rate due to tighter control over light and temperature.
