Carbon Dioxide Enrichment

CO2 and Plants

It’s important to note that a plant needs and uses CO2 only during daylight hours. And the
more light that’s made available to a plant, the more CO2 it needs for photosynthesis. It is in this process that the carbon-fixing reaction occurs, splitting CO2 molecules into carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) to create food for the plant in the form of sugars and starches.
CO2 is measured in ppm (parts per million). Ambient CO2 levels in the outdoor atmosphere average about 300 to 400 ppm, which is adequate for plants growing in nature. 
With the advent of home greenhouses and indoor growing under artificial lights and the developments in hydroponics in recent years, the need for CO2 generation has drastically increased. Plants growing in a sealed greenhouse or indoor grow room will often deplete the available CO2 and stop growing. The following graph will show what depletion and enrichment does to plant growth:
Below 200 PPM, plants do not have enough CO2 to carry on the photosynthesis process and essentially stop growing. Above 2,000 PPM, CO2 starts to become toxic to plants and above 4,000 PPM it becomes toxic to people.
It had also been ascertained that at higher light intensity, the plants can process more of CO2. Starting from sun rise,  photosynthesis increases and peak during midday, goes through a midday depression, recovers, then drop down and stop at sun set.

There are several common methods of generating extra amounts of CO2:
1. Burning hydrocarbon fuels2. Compressed, bottled CO23. Dry ice4. Fermentation5. Decomposition of organic matter
6. AgroSol Pure Plant Energy.

What is AgroSol?

AGROSOLution is a mixture of finely ground minerals containing a high concentration of CO2

Mycorrhiza


Commercial Potent Grade Mycorrhiza
Waste from roots is food for mycorrhiza fungi, waste from mycorrhiza fungi is food for roots.


What Are Mycorrhiza?

“Myco” – “rhiza” literally means “fungus” – “root” and describes the mutually beneficial relationship between the plant and root fungus. These specialized fungi colonize plant roots and extend far into the soil. Mycorrhiza fungal filaments in the soil are truly extensions of root systems and are more effective in nutrient and water absorption than the roots themselves. More than 90 percent of plant species in natural areas form a symbiotic relationship with the beneficial mycorrhiza fungi.

Are They Important?

Mycorrhiza fungi increase the surface absorbing area of roots 100 to a 1,000 times, thereby greatly improving the ability of the plant to access soil resources. Several miles of fungal filaments can be present in less than a thimbleful of soil. Mycorrhiza fungi increase nutrient uptake not only by increasing the surface absorbing area of the roots, but also release powerful enzymes into the soil that dissolve hard-to-capture nutrients, such as organic nitrogen, phosphorus, iron and other “tightly bound” soil nutrients. This extraction process is particularly important in plant nutrition and explains why non-mycorrhiza plants require high levels of fertilization to maintain their health. Mycorrhiza fungi form an intricate web that captures and assimilates nutrients, conserving the nutrient capital in soils.
Do You Need Them?

Undisturbed soils are full of beneficial soil organisms including mycorrhiza fungi. Research indicates, however, many common practices can degrade the mycorrhizae-forming potential of soil. Tillage, removal of topsoil, erosion, site preparation, compaction, fumigation, invasion of weeds, and leaving soils fallow are some of the activities that can reduce or eliminate these beneficial soil fungi. Scientific studies indicate endo mycorrhiza fungal populations are slow to recolonize, unless there is close access to natural areas that can act as a source of mycorrhiza spores to repopulate the affected area. Reintroducing mycorrhiza fungi in areas where they have been lost can dramatically improve plant performance with less water and fertilizer and at a reduced cost.

Manggoes, Field Planting.

Did a field planting of our own grafted mangoes, mostly Manila Sweet and a couples of Apple Mangoes (MA 194), totaling about 24. About 4 Durians.

Check on them again. Most of them are growing. Had only 2 fatality.









We removed the grafting tapes so as it shall grow better. The fusion would had healed by now. Since we were at it, we put in some organic fertilizer. Arranging to manage the weeds.

This trip to Sabah, shall be adding another variety Nam Doc Mai aka Water Lily (MA 223).
 The Nam Doc Mai mango variety originated in Thailand and was registered in Malaysia as MA 223 in October 1990.  Nam Doc Mai is a popular mango variety and generally eaten when soft ripe. It is a major variety of commerce in Asia.

Fig in Malaysia.

Went over to Formeniaga the other day to see what supplies they have. See some fertigation fittings there. Bought some fittings and some fertilizer for household use (wife).

Was surprised to see so many fig plants there, unfortunately they are not for sale.

Fig on fertigation.

2 dripper for each fig.



Nursery.

Fig inside the nursery with dripping system.



Air layering on fig.

Yellow spot on Fig leaf.

Another air layering of fig.

 They have a fertigation Kit selling for RM$ 150.00. This looks interesting. May get 1 soon.
Fig that I saw were
Black Aydin
Black Bursa
Brown Turkey
Chinese Yellow
Masui Dauphine

Taiwan Golden Fig
 and others.
Planning to do a trial run for fig.

Project Papaya V3


We use to have a couple of these during my childhood days. Well guess things are not what it used to be. Had been having problem with the weather, causing drought and wet stress on the plants. Then there is pest infection as well as fungus infection.
 Our third batch trial on Papaya started back on April. Germinating the seeds I guess was the easy part. I have faster germination and higher germination rate by germinating on a raised bed. I prefer this method as I find that it suits my local condition better as our water supply is inconsistent. Raised beds retain more heat and moisture that small germination tray. I didn’t have much luck using germination tray. We had some problem with chickens (neighbors) scratching on the raised beds and ants carrying away seeds during the germination period. Heavy drops of water / rain also created problem like toppling the seedling. This can be taken care of by putting shading net over it, a few inches higher than the raised bed. My guys are doing this, but I took the lazy way out, doing the raised bed underneath a tree, and blocking it with whatever waste that is available, such as old wood, bamboo & etc.
 
This time, I transferred the seedlings to poly bags after they germinated with 2 to 4 leaves. It is very tender at this stage. I feel that I am getting higher survival rates after transfer as there are so young and adaptive, or maybe they are too naive and is easy to cheat. I find using poly bags of 6 inches diameter X 9 inches deep provides more space for the root to grow and retain more heat and moisture. We can keep the seedling to even to a foot tall in this size of bag. Also it’s not too large or heavy to transport for field planting. These seedlings are kept under a shade of 70%. Correct amount of watering at this stage is critical. Too much, fungus attack, too little it gets dried off. Depending on the weather and field condition, I transfer them to field at a height of 5 inches and above.
 Once transferred to field, irrigation is also very critical for the first two months. We encountered some problem as it was hot and dry during, then sudden rain for some time. Also we need to water the plants as sometimes it’s real hot. All these factors caused the stem to break up, infecting the stem with fungus / bacteria. This caused stem / collar rot. We had some plants dying, died. We try saving the plants but at the same time, planted another one next to it. 



We had some mealy bugs attack. Fruit flies are also a plenty. We had started to wrap up the papayas.
Then came Fungus attack, Anthracnose and Powdery Mildew.
 
We also tried planting about 200 papaya plants, integrating it with pumpkins. As we were short of workforce and it was left uncared for a while. The weeds had grown too long. We are having a tough time weeding them. It can only be done manually with hand, as we do not want to damage the pumpkins and papaya. The pumpkins had bore some fruits, but due to the dry season and long weeds, the harvest was mostly damaged but rats. The weeds did helped by shading the papaya and help keep the soil moist. Had started to clear the weeds, but plenty more to go. Don’t think we can
 clear it before I go off for may vacation. Had requested my helpers to follow through on the weeding and fertilizing.
 
We have some papayas starting to flower and started to have small fruits. Need to do some fertilizing. The 3 surviving Mas Solo are growing healthily. We hope for these 3 to bear fruits so that we can propagate more of these variety should it pass our screening. Was looking closely at the 3 Mas Solo, then went around the farm, am quite sure we have more of them as some of the seeds were mixed.

Special thanks to Michael J, whom had offered plenty advice.
Stay tune for more updates.
