Plants can use up to five times more CO2 than naturally occurs in air. CO2, essential to photosynthesis, is often the most overlooked element limiting plant growth. With proper air fertilisation, CO2 can shorten gorwing time and double yield. Packed with the most up-to-date facts and figures on CO2 gardening.

Indoor and greenhouse gardeners can increas plant growth by up to 200% by adding CO2 to their gardens. Gold and Rosenthal explain exactly how to set up a system.

In the past decade, the increase in affordable and available devices that monitor plant growth has seen a rise in the number of indoor gardeners as well as healthy plants with optimized growth trends. This book serves as a guide to the plant-enriching methods that can be used with such devices, with a focus on the role of mastering carbon dioxide enrichment. Topics explored in this book include the detection, measurement, and regulation of CO2 and optimal methods of enriching plant growth using complementary cultivation techniques such as ventilation, temperature and RH regulation, CO2 enrichment, as well as a classification of plants along with their growth characteristics.
