The Question:
The farmer found that alot of caterpillars were eating his crops. The farmer sprayed alot of pesticides onto them. Which of the following is correct?
My answer:
Crops-increased
Fruits-increased
Reason: Even if the pesticides kill some of the plants, pesticides will kill most of the caterpillars. Since there are no more caterpillars feeding on the leaves, the number of crops will increase and therefore, the number of fruits will increase.
From: kohjl Jr 
My answer was:
Crops-increased
Fruits-decreased
My reason: The pesticides killed most of the caterpillars. Since there are less caterpillars which feed on the plants, the plants increased. When the caterpillars which were the young of the butterfly decreased, the butterflies will also decrease. The butterflies are needed to help the flowers to pollinate. If there are less butterflies to help the plants pollinate, there will be less fruits as a flower can only become a fruit if it goes through pollination. Therefore, there will be lesser fruits.
