Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide is a fundamental component of crop productivity, acting as a key element in the processes of photosynthesis and the creation of organic compounds. For agronomists and greenhouse specialists, understanding the mechanisms of plant carbon nutrition is of critical importance, as it is the level of carbon dioxide, combined with light factors and water regime, that determines the growth intensity and final yield of vegetable crops. Studying the theoretical foundations and practical methods of enriching the greenhouse air environment with carbon dioxide allows for a significant increase in the efficiency of plant production.

This selection combines materials that reveal both fundamental physiological processes and applied aspects of agrotechnologies. You will find information about the role of carbon in plant life activities, the history of the development of the theory of photosynthesis, and modern methods of applying carbon fertilizers. In addition to gas exchange issues, the articles address the influence of atmospheric composition on the development of vegetable crops, which will help the reader to better understand microclimate regulation and methods for increasing productivity in practice.
