does rotating plants make them grow faster?

Question

if u know the answer give me resources for the web

Answer 1

most plants grow toward the sunlight. It depends on what you mean by faster. The growth rate would be dependent on the amount of light rather than on whether or not the plant was rotated. A rotated plant would be fuller. A stationary plant, unless it had light all around it, would grow primarily toward the light, therefore it would be asymmetrical.

Answer 2

If by rotating crops in a field the answer is probably yes. There are two reasons, at least. First, one type of plant may leave a nutrient in the soil that the next one may use up, and the second one may leave one for the next. Second, different plants can have different immunities to plant diseases, so it makes sense to plant different crops in different years so that a disease doesn't build up that would be fatal to a single crop.

If you mean physically rotating a houseplant the answer probably is no. Remember plants do grow toward the light source (it's called phototropism), but the fastest growing part is on the shady side, so the plant seems to bend toward the light. However, the plant will be more robust and fuller if it is turned around from time to time.
