The growth process of plants is based on the principle of photosynthesis
CO2 and water are absorbed by the plant and under the influence of light they are converted into sugars, starch and cellulose. If one of the three factors are missing then this will have a negative impact on the plant production.
In addition, it's easier for the plant to absorb CO2 when there is a lot of light. This results in a reduction of the CO2 concentration in the greenhouse.
However, if we enrich the atmosphere in the greenhouse with pure liquid CO2, the desired CO2 amount will be maintained improving the growth and the quality of the crops.
Advantages
CO2 enrichment is a flexible and safe process that can be applied every moment during the day in the desired quantity.
Pure CO2 contains no toxic substances, such as Ethylene, Sulphur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, Acetylene or Propylene. That being said, the chance of infection in the crop is null, making using pure liquid CO2 desirable in the winter, especially when air vents are closed.
