CO2 Gro cites St. Cloud CO2 foliar spray study results

SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF CO2 GRO'S DISSOLVED CO2 FOLIAR SPRAY PLANT BENEFITS ON LETTUCE

Toronto-based CO2 Gro Inc. has commented on more scientific proof validating its dissolved carbon dioxide foliar spray technology on lettuce. The first trials at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota measured a fourfold sustained increase of chlorophyll concentration in Romaine lettuce leaves with dissolved CO2 foliar spray pulsed in 15-minute intervals for four hours. More chlorophyll lets plants grow faster and larger.

According to Tridge Intelligence, the worldwide lettuce market is 26.8 million tonnes per year with the United States producing 15.2 per cent or four million tonnes/year. Over 90 per cent of U.S. lettuce grown is in California. At the current $1.17/kilogram global wholesale lettuce price, the global wholesale lettuce market is worth $30-billion per year.

CO2 Gro believes that these initial chlorophyll trials with further replication of previous lettuce grow trials using its CO2 foliar spray technology will confirm the potential of one to two more lettuce crops/year in California or $1-billion to $2-billion per year more wholesale California lettuce revenue with less water use per unit of lettuce yield.

St. Cloud's first weekly plant science report states: "Notable in these initial experiments is the rapidity of physiological response seen in CO2 exposed plants. This data is encouraging and consistent with the hypothesis of significant plant growth enhancement with CO2 delivered via foliar spray."

In April, 2018, CO2 signed a continuing collaboration agreement with St. Cloud for scientific plant cultivation research services. Regular scientific documentation of CO2 foliar spray impacts on plant leaf stomata, and now started grow trials in lettuce and peppers will be continuing.

The primary objective of the St. Cloud Romaine lettuce trial is to duplicate the excellent 100-per-cent incremental biomass results from an earlier lettuce trial conducted by the University of Guelph. That dissolved CO2 foliar spray lettuce biomass result was measured against lettuce grown with 800 parts per million of CO2 gassing.

All patentable results from scientific discoveries at St. Cloud will be 100 per cent owned by CO2.
