Popular gases for crop farming

Learn more about the different gases commonly used in crop farming.

N₂

Nitrogen

Essential for fertilization, as nitrogen is a major component of many fertilizers that promote healthy plant growth. Nitrogen is also used for purging and preserving grains and other crops during storage to prevent oxidation and spoilage.

CO₂

Carbon Dioxide

Used to enrich the atmosphere in greenhouses to enhance photosynthesis, leading to increased plant growth and higher yields. CO2 enrichment is a common practice in controlled environment agriculture.

O₂

Oxygen

Vital for root respiration and overall plant health. Oxygen levels in the soil are critical for nutrient uptake and root development. In hydroponic systems, oxygenation of water is necessary to maintain healthy plant roots.

C₂H₄

Ethylene

A plant hormone used to regulate the ripening of fruits and vegetables. Ethylene gas can be applied to synchronize ripening processes and improve the timing of harvests.

NH₃

Ammonia

Used as a nitrogen fertilizer in various forms, such as anhydrous ammonia. It provides a readily available source of nitrogen for plants, which is essential for their growth and development.

C₃H₈

Propane

Utilized as a fuel for heating greenhouses, drying crops, and powering certain types of agricultural equipment. Propane heaters help maintain optimal temperatures for plant growth in greenhouses.

H₂

Hydrogen

Involved in nitrogen fixation processes by certain bacteria, which can improve soil fertility. While not directly applied in its gaseous form, hydrogen is part of the natural biological processes that enhance nutrient availability in the soil.
