What factors need to be considered to improve plant food production,…

- - - - Temperature
        
        Hot temperature can increase osmosis causing water to be sucked out of plants making them wilt and shrivel up
        
        Key temperatures are between 22-26 degrees Celsius
        
        Cold temperatures can freeze the plants insides and destroy it
      - Rain
        
        Rainwater builds up the moisture levels in the soil and assures a healthy plant. (Branch Management, 2024)
        
        One inch of rainfall a week is needed for most plants (The Morton Arboretum, 2024)
      - Light
        
        Best light for photosynthesis is blue and red ranges
        
        help your plants to produce a hormone called meta-topolin which prevents chlorophyll being broken down. (Herbal House NZ, 2021)
        
        Blue makes it easy for chlorophyll to absorb and convert into energy. (TCP, 2021)
        
        Plants need the sunlight to receive energy
    - - Ideal soil is 50% pore space (water + air), 5 % organic matter, and 45% minerals (SDSUE, 2024)
      - pH levels
      - Types of nutrients found in the soil
      - Soil is important because it holds nutrients and water that support life in any plant.(Pure modern, 2023)
- - - - Company's will produce more and a bigger variety if more is demanded
      - Transportation and storage facilities
    - - Ethics
      - Increase economy
      - Pay rates
    - - The price will increase if the demand for plant food increase
