- Experiment to test how one of the following variables impacts the growth of Brassica rapa: Water, Nutrient Availability, and Herbivory 1) Be thorough, how would you set up an experiment of Brassica rapa? For example, if you plan to decrease the amount of water given to your plants how you would like to do this? If you plan to increase nutrients, think about whether you want to do this once or weekly. If you plan to simulate herbivory, think about how you will do this and how much leaf tissue you want to remove. 2) What variables will be controlled during your experiment?
