Maintenance and Equipment Use

Greenhouse Equipment Use

A variety of types of equipment, including autoclaves and soil mixers, are used in Cornell greenhouses.  Training in safe operation and proper maintenance of this equipment ensures its continued availability for use and protects the safety of those using it.

Greenhouses documents intended for use by the Cornell Greenhouse community in New York State are provided as resource information and tools on greenhouse equipment training, procedures and a checklist can be found on the Greenhouse Equipment Record Keeping and Tools page.

Preventive maintenance minimizes factors that cause deterioration.  Timely repair of small problems prevents them from becoming larger issues, and minimizes algae growth and other pest problems.
