In a light deprivation greenhouse, carbon dioxide (CO2) plays a crucial role in the photosynthesis process, which is essential for plant growth and development. When light deprivation techniques are employed to control light exposure, ensuring adequate CO2 levels becomes even more important, as plants rely on this gas to produce energy.
In a controlled environment, CO2 enrichment can be achieved through methods such as introducing supplemental CO2 from tanks or utilizing natural gas burners. However, proper ventilation should be used to maintain appropriate CO2 levels without allowing excessive buildup of heat or humidity, which can harm plants.
