The combined effects of airflow and carbon dioxide on chrysanthemum, dwarf wheat, and soybean

Effects of airflow direction and velocity on plant vegetative production were studied. Three plant species were studied: dwarf wheat (Triticum aestivum), chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium), and soybean (Glycine max. L.). Specific objectives of this research were to: (1) Evaluate and improve environmental uniformity within plant growth chambers related to airflow velocity, airflow patterns, and CO$\sb2$ availability. (2) Quantify effects of horizontal airflow velocity at ambient and enriched CO$\sb2$, and horizontal versus vertical airflow patterns on plant vegetative growth.
