1. Development of Efficient Co2 Enrichment Technique Based on a Simple Photosynthesis Model of Strawberries

In Japanese strawberry production, environmental control in greenhouses is carried out to increase yields and improve fruit quality. CO2 enrichment technique, which promotes leaf photosynthesis by supplying CO2 gas generated by burning kerosene inside greenhouses, has become an indispensable technique in strawberry cultivation. However, conventional CO2 enrichment involves continuous supplementation over a long period of time regardless of the photosynthetic response of strawberries,... K. Hidaka
