Abstract

This paper highlights the phenotypic variation of congress grass (Parthenium hysterophorus) to varying soil texture. Plants demonstrated significant differences in some traits among the different soil types and these phenotypically plastic traits, in combination, contribute to invasiveness of the species, allowing for the range expansion observed in different habitats.
