The 'Rossel-screenhouse' - 6m wide x 20m long

The Rossel-screenhouse, developed in association with Clovis Lande, was designed by Dr. H.W. Rossel, formerly at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria, during his work as a virologist at this research institute.

The Rossel-screenhouse was primarily designed for use as an insect-proof greenhouse for virus research in the hot and humid lowland tropics, independent from power supply for forced ventilation or air-conditioning to achieve adequate temperature control.

The screenhouse is equally suitable for other research applications that require strict insect control and a near ambient temperature regime at all times. Excellent temperature control is achieved through its unique design principles and new, soft-cladding netting and roofing materials used.

Canopy cladding is either by low-cost U.V.I Polythene or plastic (longevity approx. 2-3 years), or extra long-life TFE-90.

Tildenet 32 Mesh (32x32) aphid and whitefly proof insect screening (longevity approx. 3 years) is providing adequate protection from insects.

For benching, the screenhouse can be supplied with simple pipe framework stands, of pipes and clamps as used in construction of the screenhouse. The screenhouse in the standard format comes with two side-benches of 18 m and 16 m length (width .9 m), respectively. In addition, it comes with one free-standing, double-width central bench of 16 m length (1.8 m width).

The Rossel-screenhouse can also be supplied with free-standing, galvanised steel/aluminium benching of the same dimensions as above.
In both cases, galvanised 'Weldmesh' is supplied for bench tops.
