What is the significance of carbon dioxide detection in greenhouses?

 Carbon dioxide is a substance required for plant growth, especially for the cultivation of vegetables in greenhouses, where the level of carbon dioxide directly affects the yield of crops. In winter and spring in the more confined greenhouses and greenhouses, if the carbon dioxide level is insufficient, it is necessary to apply carbon dioxide gas fertilizer to vegetables so as to promote development, increase yield and improve quality.

It is important to know that sufficient carbon dioxide concentration is conducive to promoting photosynthesis of vegetables, making vegetable plants grow strong, improving the internal and external quality of vegetables, increasing the benefits and improving yields, especially in the early stage of production. It can also advance the market time of vegetables, which can enhance the resistance of plants and improve the storage resistance of products.

However, excessive carbon dioxide concentration can have the opposite effect of inhibiting vegetable growth and can have an impact on personal safety and cause some danger to greenhouse operations. Therefore, in order to guide the correct and accurate application of carbon dioxide fertilizers, it is necessary to conduct effective carbon dioxide concentration tests in advance.

However, the amount of carbon dioxide applied is a difficult one to control, and everything has to be done in a certain degree. For this reason, many vegetable greenhouses are now choosing carbon dioxide sensors to measure carbon dioxide levels in the greenhouse and to provide guidance for planting management.
