CO2 is the one of the keys in photosynathis
light+CO2= Oxegen (roughly) the more CO2 the growth




CO2 is required for a plant to photosynthesise. Carbon dioxide and water molecules are taken into the plant where, under the influence of various catalysts and energy in the form of sunlight, they are combined into glucose (Oxygen is also produced as a waste product). Glucose is a large molecule and forms the basis of sugar. The plant uses the glucose to grow, hence a lack in CO2 leads to a deficiency in glucose supplies which leads to stunted growth (kind of like plant malnutrition).
