That cultivation can exert weakening influences is the reason why pests are more of a problem for cultivated than for wild plants. Cultivated plants become dependent upon both the gardener's and Mother Nature's scheduling and supplying appropriate aeration, light, moisture, nutrients, and temperature whereas wild plants must adapt and become more resistant only to natural forces.
