Solution

Yes, we can alter the rate of growth by making variations in the factors affecting growth, these are light and temperature. A plant grows quicker during the night then during the day. During the night retarding or inhibiting action of light is absent and rate of growth of a plant gradually increases until dawn while during the day the rate of growth gradually decreases until about sunset.
