RE:infusing CO2 makes crop less nutritious...study says As co2 levels rise, all other “growing factors” will need to rise to maximize plant growth. The company talks about it on their presentation, it’s called “the law of the minimum”:
Most plant growth enhancers have by now, been optimized, particularly in greenhouses, such as light, nutrients, moisture, heat, pesticides, metals etc. The missing link to maximizing plant yield has been how to get plants to absorb the maximum amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) they are physically capable of n a natural way.
We have demonstrated that CO2 gassing is NOT the best way to do that if CO2 gassing and far superior to just air’s 400 PPM of CO2 concentration. By far the best bioavailable way to feed CO2 to plants is in dissolved form spray pulsed frequently onto plant leaves.
Justus Von Liebig first published his “Law of the Minimum” in 1873. As shown, CO2 is one of the essential nutrient planks of optimizing the plant yield barrel. In other words, CO2 levels have to be high enough in order to not lose plant yield versus applying all other nutrients. If CO2 levels are deficient, ALL of the other plant nutrients in excess of that critical level of CO2 can be wasted.
