[Research] The Effects of Carbon Dioxide Application on Strawberry Yield and Quality

A three-year study was conducted on the effects of carbon dioxide application on the yield and quality of the Gunma Prefecture cultivated strawberry variety "Yayoi Hime."

This document introduces the effects of carbon dioxide application on the yield and quality of the strawberry variety "Yayoi Hime." The carbon dioxide application was carried out using two methods: local application of liquefied carbon dioxide (directly to the root zone) and combustion-type application using LP gas. When the carbon dioxide concentration in the greenhouse was managed at 600 ppm, the number of fruits and average fruit weight increased, resulting in a yield increase of 14-29% compared to no application, and a 5-10% increase when maintained at 400 ppm. Additionally, the cost-effectiveness of carbon dioxide application showed that the revenue from increased yield exceeded the necessary expenses at both 600 ppm and 400 ppm, leading to improved profits. 【Contents】 ■ Abstract ■ Introduction ■ Experimental Methods ■ Results ■ Discussion ■ References *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
