As an important element for plant photosynthesis, CO2 enrichment in an appropriate environment can promote photosynthetic rate, organic matter accumulation and the growth rate of plants. The CO2 enrichment technology should be widely used in agriculture. However, only a few studies have emphasized the role of CO2 enrichment technology and its development in agriculture. In study, four CO2 enrichment technologies were introduced based on the different generation principles of CO2. It can be concluded that the existing CO2 enrichment methods and technologies were benefited from the development of agricultural information technology. Further, the framework of agricultural information technology in CO2 enrichment is proposed. It will provide an innovative idea for mitigating global climate change and help future research on the environmental adaptability of farmland crops.
