Photosynthesis requires light, water, and CO2 to work. When one of these factors is in short supply, it is called a limiting fac
tor. Temperature can also be a limiting factor when it is too hot or too cold for photosynthesis to work well. If you are trying to grow plants in a greenhouse, why is it important to know the limiting factor?
A farmer can be more successful in understanding which plant produces and how to grow plants with a higher degree of photosynthesis with less material and time exhaustion, by recognizing what the limiting factor is.
Hope this helps! Please correct me if I'm wrong :)
