// Why use CO2 in the greenhouses
Do you use carbon dioxide in your greenhouse?
If not, you definitely should!
Using CO₂ helps to encourage plant growth in greenhouses. This process is also called CO₂ enrichment. The importance of CO₂ for plants resembles the importance of food for humans – they grow by actually ‘eating it’.
Adding CO₂ into greenhouses allows plants to grow faster by fully maximising their photosynthesis potential.
By using CO₂ enrichment, it is possible to boost plant growth by 15 to 50%, depending on the type of crops.
