Gases for agriculture

Fertiliser gases to improve crop yield

OXIGEN salud supplies carbon dioxide (CO₂) for agriculture. This gas helps improve crop yield:

• Carbon dioxide enrichment: when CO₂ is applied to the air surrounding the plant.
• Carbon fertigation: when CO₂ is injected into the irrigation system.

These methods can be used individually or in combination depending on crop characteristics: plant variety, farming technique, closed greenhouse or open field, etc.

Equipment offered by OXIGEN salud includes:

• Storing equipment that ensures the supply of CO₂ to the infrastructure.
• Gasification units that provide a suitable flow of CO₂ based on demand.
• Control panel to regulate supply pressure and necessary flow in each farming area.
• Injection and distribution equipment. In fertigation, CO₂ is injected to enrich the water supplied by the existing irrigation system.

Main benefits

The benefits of using gases for agriculture are:

• Faster growth.
• Better quality.
• Less fungal diseases.
• Higher seedling performance.
• Faster root growth.
• Increased flowering.

Why use CO₂ in agriculture?

Carbon dioxide is an essential gas for photosynthesis. Increasing its concentration in the growing environment stimulates plant development, especially in greenhouses where conditions are controlled.

Applying CO₂ in appropriate doses improves yield without needing to modify other factors such as light or temperature.

Applications in crops

The use of agricultural CO₂ is especially beneficial for:

• Greenhouse vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce).
• High-value fruits (strawberries, berries).
• Cut flowers and ornamental plants.
• Seedbeds and nurseries, where rapid growth is key.
