Abstract
Cucumis sativus, Lycopersicon esculentum Mauney and Hendrix (1988) reported that CO 2 -saturated irrigation water increased P, Mn, and Zn uptake and vegetative growth and boll count in cotton. Nakayama and Bucks (1980) found that delivering CO 2 -amended water through a drip irrigation system increased wheat yields. Based on these and other reports (D'Orazio, 1990), California and Arizona growers have begun to adopt this technique in the field on a variety of crops. This study was conducted to determine the effects of CO 2 -amended irrigation water on tomato and cucumber production.
