Novel Crops:
Required for all new teachers, optional for returning teachers
28 day trial
Which selected plant cultivars grow best under our simulated International Space Station conditions?
In this trial, you will grow two of twelve cultivars new to the GBE program. These will be randomly selected for each school.
Cultivars and Protocol Link coming soon!
Extended Novel Crops:
Optional for returning teachers
70+ day trial
Which selected cultivars grow best under our simulated International Space Station conditions under a longer growth period?
In this trial, you will grow one of nine cultivars new to the GBE program. Unlike standard Novel Crops plants, these are grown for various plant parts and may require a longer growth period for suitable edible yield.
Cultivars and Protocol Link coming soon!
Optional for returning teachers
21 day trial
Which harvest interval (7, 14, or 21 days) produces the greatest biomass from a given seed mass when microgreens are grown on a reusable growing surface under simulated International Space Station conditions?
Microgreens can be harvested at different stages of development, and so this investigation examines how harvest timing influences edible biomass production and evaluates the suitability of a reusable growing surface for repeated cultivation.
