Photosynthesis

The process by which plants convert light energy, water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. Occurring primarily in the chloroplasts of leaf cells, photosynthesis is the engine behind all plant growth — driving the energy production that supports everything from root development to flowering. Optimising light, water and nutrient availability gives plants the best conditions to photosynthesise efficiently.
