(1) Light

  • Indirectly: by photosynthesis and transpiration.
  • Directly: A little flux of light can control morphogenesis of the plant.

(2) Temperature—Three cardinal points:

  • minimum, optimum and maximum temperature for growth”
  • optimum temperature for growth is the temperature at which plant grows fastest but not strongest.
  • Suboptimum temperature for growth is the temperature at which plant grows slower but strongest than at optimum temperature.

(3).Water

  • “Dry for root, wet for bud”. Root depends on cell division and bud does cell elongation.

(4)O2: enough O2 favors growth. 10-15% soil O2——tilling

(5).Mineral nutrition: Grow worse upon deficiency or toxification
