Story behind my topic

            Have you ever wondered why food prices keep going up? Well one major cause is a little microscopic bug that lives in the ground, they are called nematodes. Nematodes effect everything that grows. If you try to grow some tomato plants and you wonder why they get all yellow even though you water and give them fertilizer. It’s because you did not treat the dirt they were put in for diseases that were not killed because there was no cold winter, and for these tiny little killer bugs. They attack these plants in three different manners, the outside of the roots, root knot nematodes, and in the stem or leaves of the plant. When nematodes attack the plant turns yellow and wilts or the entire plant will die. If you see this happen immediately remove the plant and put it away from the garden. If you don’t they will spread and kill the others.
