CO₂ System
Plants need CO₂ for healthy growth. In greenhouses, CO₂ concentration can vary significantly throughout the day. In non-ventilated greenhouses, CO₂ levels may fall below optimum thresholds during certain times of the day. In such cases, CO₂ fertilization is necessary for healthy plant development.
The amount of CO₂ in the air is typically around 350 ppm, which is sufficient for basic photosynthesis. However, to increase production and yield, the CO₂ concentration required by plants is approximately 1000 ppm.
Therefore, supplying CO₂ to plants when levels are low is essential.
CO₂ obtained from fuel boilers or liquefied tanks must be applied in greenhouses under specific measurements and controls. This ensures that CO₂ levels remain optimal and supports healthy plant growth.
