Selective breeding has been existed from approximately 1300-1600. The exact date is not possitive. It started with grain, getting better products' of grain and of coarse getting more production. However this was an accident, a farmer in Western Europe thought that if he picked the bigger seed's, that bigger crops of grain would appear. At first he wasnt correct, but year's after year's the production of his grain steadily increased, then the secret spilled out to a traveling merchant heading to Germany; and there he suggested to do this and that with the local farmers in a town in Germany.

Technically, plant breeding first started when ancient civilizations stopped being nomadic and started farming. It was pretty basic-they just planted more seeds from the plants that worked the best, thus influencing what quality of plants they'd have in future generations.
