The importance of the CO2 system in modern greenhouses

Plants need carbon dioxide in order to transform the nutritional elements they receive into food. Currently, the CO2 amount in the atmosphere is around 350 ppm and is sufficient for plants to do photosynthesis. However, the required amount of carbon dioxide is 1000 ppm if we want to improve production and productivity. The use of carbon dioxide (obtained from fuel or liquid tanks) in greenhouses should be carried out according to certain measurements and controls.

CO² fertilization can be applied at desired values according to the data received from climate control unit and greenhouse CO² sensors.

Furthermore, we offer services for carbon dioxide delivery, infrastructure and planning and the establishment of the delivery lines in greenhouses.

Carbon dioxide systems

“Carbon dioxide fertilization” is the replenishment of the CO² rate with additional sources when the CO² amount in the environment decreases during daylight photosynthesis. The advantages and the application methods of carbon dioxide fertilization are as follows:

Improved Fruit and Vegetable Quality; Fruits and vegetables supplied with CO² fertilization prove improved quality and productivity.

Resistance against Plant Diseases; The increase in the CO² amount in greenhouses contributes to the physiology, anatomy and morphology of plants.

Rapid Growth; Early harvest is an important factor that increases CO2 amount in the atmosphere and helps plants to make a good start to their life cycles. In the beginning of each spring, it immediately shows effects on annual plants during growth. It triggers the stimulants that ensure plant growth and affect performance during all the stages of plant life. Researches in varying areas, climates and periods indicate that proper conditions ensure improvement in crops.
