Is CO2 enrichment worth specifying?
CO2 enrichment is normally considered for high-value crops in relatively closed, well-controlled houses where ventilation losses can be managed. In leaky structures with high ventilation rates most of the injected CO2 is lost, so the specification question comes before the economics question.
Where this sits in fertigation equipment procurement
Fertigation equipment covers injection (venturi, dosing pump or dosing unit), stock tanks, EC/pH control and the dosing channels needed for the crop recipe — the channel count and injection accuracy required drive most of the cost difference between offers.
Typical procurement searches this answers: fertigation equipment · fertigation system for greenhouse · dosing unit vs venturi injector · EC pH control fertigation · greenhouse cooling system · pad and fan vs fogging
Inputs that change the answer
- House tightness and ventilation regime
- Crop response and value
- CO2 source: liquid, flue gas or boiler
- Control and safety systems
What this answer does not settle
No production or return benefit is guaranteed; crop response varies with light and climate.
