Answer:

at half the carrying capacity

Explanation:

The logistic function is a solution to the differential equation ...

x' = ax(b-x)

The largest value of x' occurs where x = b/2.

In terms of population dynamics, "b" will be the carrying capacity of the environment, the limit that x will approach.
