CO2 Delivery Solutions™ first dissolves CO2 gas into water creating a saturated CO2 solution. The saturated CO2 solution is then directly misted onto the plant’s leaves creating a microfilm on the leaf’s surface. The microfilm isolates the leaf from the atmosphere creating a diffusion gradient which enables the CO2 molecules in solution to diffuse into the leaf through the entire leaf surface. The process is irrespective of the stomata which normally takes CO2 from the air. Misting is done for a few seconds two to three times an hour during the light phase.
CO2 GRO has demonstrated up to 30% value increases using its CO2 Delivery Solutions™ on fruiting vegetables and berries, leafy greens and flowers. The up to 30% value increases can be realized by nearly all crop varieties grown in protected agriculture as a result of increased production yields, more harvest turns and reduction of crop loss by protecting the plants from leaf surface pathogen spread. The technology employs less than 5% of the CO2 required by traditional atmospheric enrichment (CO2 gassing) in order to achieve increased yields. Coupled with low power usage, the low system operating costs means nearly all the added revenue is profit. For many growers, these benefits approach a doubling of gross profits. …...more
