The importance of CO2 levels in plant growth

Effective environmental control in plant growth chambers is essential for scientists to mimic a wide range of climatic conditions and advance research in areas such as plant biology, genetics, and agricultural sciences.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) management is particularly crucial among the various factors that can influence plant growth. Understanding and maintaining appropriate CO2 levels can increase plant growth and play an important part in research outcomes, while inadequate CO2 control can hinder plant development and confound findings if its role is not understood.

In this Insight we'll explore the importance of CO2 control in plant growth chambers, best practices for managing CO2, and specific ways these practices contribute to healthier plants and better plant research. By understanding and controlling for CO2, growers, and researchers can better understand their controlled growth environment as well as ensure optimal plant growth and maximize the efficiency of their operations.
