Company Summary

AG Gas has developed CO2 enrichment systems capable of generating large yield increases, even in open-air environments, helping growers maximize production from their licensed plots.

The AG Gas patented and patents-pending Carbogation® system dynamically delivers prescriptive levels of CO2 gas directly to the plants. CO2 enriched plants are healthier, faster growing, more heat-tolerant and more water-use efficient.
