This poster will summarize our research on the effects of CO2 crop canopy enhancement for strawberries and blueberries. We discuss the methodology used to deliver the CO2 in field experiments and summarize our results to date on yield, fruit quality, photosynthesis, transpiration, and plant growth characteristics.
