Agriculture Industry

What we are providing

Specialty gases are used in the agricultural industry for a variety of applications, enhancing productivity, improving product quality, and ensuring environmental sustainability. Here are some of the key uses:

Greenhouse Atmosphere Control: Specialty gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) are used to enrich greenhouse atmospheres, promoting plant growth and increasing yield. By controlling the levels of CO2, farmers can optimize photosynthesis, particularly in controlled environment agriculture where precise conditions are maintained for crop growth.

Soil Fumigation: Certain specialty gases are used for soil fumigation to control pests, diseases, and weeds. By applying gases like methyl bromide (though its use is restricted in many countries due to its ozone-depleting properties) or alternatives, farmers can prepare the soil for planting by reducing the population of harmful organisms.

Refrigeration and Controlled Atmosphere Storage: Specialty gases are crucial in refrigeration systems and controlled atmosphere storage to extend the shelf life of perishable agricultural products. Gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide are used to create environments with reduced oxygen levels, slowing down the ripening process of fruits and vegetables and reducing spoilage.

Animal Husbandry: In poultry and livestock farming, specialty gases are used for humane slaughtering and in controlled atmosphere stunning to ensure animal welfare. Carbon dioxide, for example, is used in poultry processing to render birds unconscious before slaughter, which is considered more humane and can also improve meat quality.

Crop Preservation: Gases like nitrogen are used in grain storage to displace oxygen, preventing oxidation and the growth of pests or mold. This method is used to preserve quality and extend the storage life of grains and legumes.

Pest Control: For greenhouses and stored products, carbon dioxide or other gases may be used in pest control methods to create inhospitable environments for pests without the use of chemical pesticides.

Plant Growth and Development Research: Specialty gases are used in research and development within agriculture to study plant responses to various atmospheric conditions, including the effects of different gas concentrations on plant growth, disease resistance, and yield.

Water Treatment: In aquaculture and hydroponic systems, oxygen is often injected into water to improve the dissolved oxygen levels, promoting healthier plant and fish growth.

The application of specialty gases in agriculture is a sophisticated area that involves understanding the specific needs of crops, animals, and the overall farming system. Advances in technology and research continue to expand the ways in which these gases can be used to improve efficiency, productivity, and sustainability in the agricultural sector.
