CO2 Delivery Solutions™
Watch this whiteboard video
Atmospheric enrichment of CO2 by gassing in protected horticulture operations has enhanced plant yields for decades. However, even sealed greenhouses must vent during warmer months resulting in the CO2 gas escaping outside. This makes maintaining CO2 gas levels of >800 ppm very difficult. Non-sealed structures such as hoop houses, tunnels, shade and net houses have open ends, roofs or are porous, making CO2 gassing virtually impossible.
This means the vast majority of the 600 billion square feet of protected growers worldwide are not able to take advantage of CO2 enrichment which is proven to result in up to 30% more yield as plants are able to enhance photosynthesis. CO2 GRO's patented revolutionary CO2 Delivery Solutions™ enables ALL protected grows to consistently deliver optimal amounts of CO2 to their plants via misting a saturated CO2 solution, resulting in higher yields, faster growth, safely and profitably.

How CO2 Delivery Solutions Work
TM
CO2 from a cylinder and water from the facility source are fed into the CO2 Infusion System, which comes as an in-situ system or can be integrated into booms. The CO2 completely dissolves and saturates in the water creating a saturated CO2 solution.
The saturated CO2 solution is targeted directly on to the plant's leaves by misting micro droplets that create a microfilm on leaf's surface. This film isolates the leaf surface from the atmosphere and creates a diffusion gradient that enables the CO2 to diffuse from the solution into the leaf through the leaf surface.
The carbon is used by the plant for photosynthesis to grow and the oxygen is given off to the atmosphere.
More carbon is now available for the roots and shoots to grow, increasing yield and profits.
The 'Magic' is in the Misting
CO2 is diffused through the leaf's surface.
This means the CO2 solution can be misted from overhead vs under the leaf.

Exciting Results
It is difficult to maintain >800 ppm CO2 gas even in a sealed commercial facility throughout the grow cycle due to periodic venting.
CO2 solution misting is effective year-round, regardless of venting periods.

Plant Protection
Protection from powdery mildew
Save crops
Perimeter Protection™
-
Despite conventional wisdom, misting plants with CO2 solution also provides the plant with “Perimeter Protection™” to slow the spread of micro pathogens.
-
The fluctuation in pH on the plant surface when CO2 solution is misted, significantly slows the spread of micro pathogens. CO2 gassing alone does not provide this protection.
-
Reduce the spread of micro pathogens such as powdery mildew and E. coli by 99%.
