A limiting factor is a condition that limits the population's growth in an ecosystem by slowing or stopping its growth. These factors are generated by the lack or excess of a particular resource. In plants, limiting factors include, among others, light, water, temperature, oxygen, food, (i.e., nutrients and minerals), space, etc. In this case, the farmer must know which greenhouse conditions are limiting factors in order to ensure the survival and optimal development of the plant population.
