CO2 monitor for grow tent

With the dual challenges of global climate change and population growth, greenhouse agriculture has become one of the most important tools to address food supply and sustainable development. The application of CO2 monitor in greenhouse environment is getting more and more attention. This paper will focus on the application of CO2 monitor for grow tent and analyze its advantages and challenges.

CO2 monitor for grow tent

CO2 monitor is mainly applied to the monitoring of carbon dioxide in greenhouses. Agricultural greenhouse cultivation can keep crops in a relatively closed place for a long time, and the carbon dioxide concentration in the greenhouse varies greatly within a day. Carbon dioxide is the main raw material for plants to carry out photosynthesis, and its content is directly related to the growth, development and yield of plants. Therefore, the concentration of carbon dioxide is crucial for the management of greenhouse greenhouses. In order to increase the carbon dioxide concentration in greenhouses, many agricultural producers will artificially inject fertilizer into greenhouses to ensure the normal growth of crops.

How it works

Fosensor's infrared CO2 monitor is an instrument that can be used to measure CO2 concentration under greenhouse conditions. The principle of operation is based on the NDIR CO2 Sensor technology, i.e. an infrared radiation source sends infrared radiation to the gas in the sensor, which measures the intensity of infrared absorption in the CO2 molecules, and then obtains the CO2 concentration in the gas by means of a chemical concentration formula.

Practical application

1. Real-time monitoring of CO2 in planting greenhouses

The change of CO2 concentration in planting greenhouses is one of the key indicators in agricultural production management. When the CO2 concentration is insufficient, the growth rate and quality of plants will be affected. When CO2 is too high, it not only adversely affects plant growth, but also leads to energy waste. The use of CO2 monitor for grow tent can realize the real-time monitoring of CO2 concentration in the grow tent, which is convenient for agricultural producers to manage and regulate.

2. CO2 concentration control for grow tent

According to the change of CO2 concentration, irrigation and ventilation systems can be adjusted to realize the control of CO2 concentration. The infrared CO2 monitor has the advantages of high sensitivity and high accuracy, and can measure the CO2 concentration value in real time under the complex environment of the growing tent, thus realizing the precise control of CO2 concentration in the growing tent.

CO2 monitor for grow tent advantages

1. Improve crop yield: monitoring and regulating CO2 concentration can improve the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants, accelerate the growth of plants, and improve the sweetness and quality of fruits.

2. Saving energy: CO2 monitor can help farmers adjust the ventilation and circulation system in time, effectively utilize the energy resources in the shed, reduce the operation cost and improve the economic efficiency.

3. Avoiding the influence of climatic factors: The concentration of carbon dioxide in different locations of the greenhouse may change due to natural climatic factors, and CO2 monitor can monitor the concentration in all corners of the greenhouse in time, adjust the ventilation and circulation system in time, and avoid the influence of climatic factors on the growth status of plants.

4. Protect the environment: CO2 monitor can monitor and adjust the CO2 concentration in the greenhouse in time, so that the water resources in the greenhouse can be reasonably utilized to avoid excessive consumption and waste.
