Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an essential element in the plant life cycle. Through the biochemical process of photosynthesis, CO2 and water (in the presence of light energy) are transformed into carbohydrates, which form the basis of plant growth. During this process, the availability of CO2 is a critical factor determining development. The average concentration of CO2 in the air is around 340 ppm, and various studies show that crops improve their performance by increasing this amount to 600-1000 ppm during daylight hours.
There are two types of carbon fertilization: atmospheric carbon fertilization with high-pressure bottles and gas dispensers, and carbon fertilization in irrigation, which is achieved with these tablets. The advantages of using tablets over other systems are the following: tablets are the most effective and economical system for adding CO2 to your irrigation water and you do not need storage equipment (bottle) or a gasification unit or injection and distribution equipment, which are also very expensive.
Benefits of carbon fertilization in water: increases crop production, advances crops, improves flower quality (density and size), facilitates loosening of the soil, greater oxygen supply and development of the root system, increases resistance to pests and diseases, improves profitability with minimal investment.
For atmospheric carbon fertilization, the best system is Co2Boost and for carbon fertilization in irrigation, these tablets are the best option.
