Question
Chapter 54, Problem 3DA
Summary Introduction
To determine: The age group targeted for the removal of annual bluegrass weed and the change in the age group selection based on differing circumstances.
Introduction: The invasive species are the ones that grow in the non-native environment and compete with the native plants for space and nutrition and results in damaging of the native population of flora and fauna due to lack of natural predators in a non-native environment.

- Moving Forward by Looking Back. (Q1) Several generations of farmers in Southern England have grown various plants that originated from the wild mustard plant to sell them to local markets. These plants are listed in the figure below and include: kohlrabi, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower. While these plants originated from the wild mustard, they do not look like the wild mustard plant. Over many generations of farm-work involving growing wild mustard and multiple trials and errors, the farmers grew plants with the tastiest varieties and only used these plants to produce new plants of the same kind. This process is known as selective breeding. Brussels sprouts Lateral leaf buds Wild Mustard Plant Broccol Flower buds/stems Brassica Oleracea Answer the following introductory questions: 1.
