P2-023 In Progress

Managing CO2 levels in controlled environment cropping systems to optimise yield

Crop production systems in large controlled environment facilities are traditionally high-input, resource and capital-intensive. Optimising input parameters is a major avenue for increasing yield and quality whilst reducing waste of precious resources. The aim of the project is to define the optimum CO2 levels for tomato production in controlled environments.
