The potential of the N.C. State solar energy collection/storage greenhouse to increase the benefits of CO/sub 2/ enrichment in warm climates was investigated. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and bedding plants were grown in this house at 1000 ppm and in a conventional greenhouse unenriched. Yield increases (14.6% for tomatoes, 42.0% for cucumbers, 104% for bedding plants) compare favorably with enrichment studies done in colder climates. 9 refs.
