Three factors can limit the speed of photosynthesis-light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature. Light intensity. Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly, even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide.
If it gets too cold, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease. Plants cannot photosynthesise if it gets too hot. If you plot the rate of photosynthesis against the levels of these three limiting factors, you get graphs like the ones above. In practice, any one of these factors could limit the rate of photosynthesis. Maximising growth. Farmers can use their knowledge of these limiting factors to increase crop growth in greenhouses. They may use artificial light so that photosynthesis can continue beyond daylight hours, or in a higher-than-normal light intensity.
