Revise the hypothesis. A student observed that during wet seasons, the soil becomes more saline, and her cucumber plants were more susceptible to parasites. The combination of salinity and wet season and the infestation of parasites led to significant reductions in plants' yield and size. She proposes a general hypothesis, "Wet seasons and salinity affect the severity of parasitic infection in cucumber."
