Modern controlled-environment agriculture depends on far more than soil, water, and light. As growers strive for higher yields, consistency, and efficiency, attention has shifted toward atmospheric conditions inside growing spaces. Among these conditions, carbon dioxide levels play a critical yet often underestimated role. When managed correctly, carbon dioxide becomes a powerful growth driver that supports healthier plants and stronger production outcomes. Understanding how carbon dioxide interacts with plant biology allows growers to create environments where crops can reach their full genetic potential. Rather than relying on ambient air alone, many advanced growing operations now integrate deliberate carbon strategies into their cultivation systems. The Role of Carbon Dioxide in Plant Development Carbon dioxide is a fundamental component of photosynthesis. Plants absorb it through their leaves and, with the help of light, convert it into the sugars needed for growth and energ...
