Chapter 141 Insecticides
Chen Youyi was taken aback when she suddenly heard Wang San's words. Planting flowers, grasses and crops must face one of the most difficult crises, that is, insect pests.
When she heard that there were insects in the pepper seedlings, how could she not be surprised, and quickly asked what was going on.
Wang San and the others were affected by her nervous attitude, stammered, and told the matter, it turned out that just a few days ago, when Wang San was watering the ground, he found that there were a few pepper seedlings in the corner with a few insects.
"There are only a few seedlings on them, and they have been caught, so there shouldn't be a problem...... Let's ...... "Wang San caught those insects as soon as he found them, and the leaves of the insect infestation were also cleaned up, and they still looked like a large piece of healthy health.
Chen Youyi is still anxious, the insect pest can be big or small, if it is big, it is not a joke, her pepper seeds are all planted, if the whole army is wiped out, where will she go to find pepper seedlings?
In addition to that unexpected surprise, she deliberately searched for it in the mountains this year, and she was not so lucky to find wild pepper seedlings for the second time.
She went to the field in a hurry, went down to the field and checked it, and then her heart was put back in her stomach.
Just like Wang San said, there are pepper seedlings that attract insects, but there are only a few plants, and they can't be cured, so they will pull out these plants to keep the other troops.
She took a closer look, but she couldn't find the source of the infestation, and asked the Wang brothers, but they couldn't tell it, only that it appeared suddenly.
"Observe first, if there are still insects in a few days, we can only pull out these plants." It's a pity that the pepper seedlings that finally grew up were pulled, but for the sake of greater interests, I can only endure the pain of love.
Chen Youyi told the Wang brothers to keep an eye on it these days, and she herself was not idle, running to the chili field three times a day.
However, contrary to expectations, the pest of pepper seedlings did not disappear. When Wang San was staring at the pepper seedlings in the corner, a day or two later, Wang Er found that there were insects growing on the pepper seedlings in the other corner.
This time, the bugs were caught and killed in time, but everyone's hearts were worried.
Chen Youyi dreamed for several nights in a row, dreaming that her pepper seedlings were eaten by insects, and those insects were eating them on the ground while laughing at her arrogantly, so angry that Chen Youyi woke up before dawn.
"Huh ......" is fortunately a dream. Chen Youyi wiped the sweat from the corners of her forehead and felt hot all over. moved her body and found that an arm was lying in front of her, and her whole body was held in Qin Ziheng's arms, the other party's body temperature was very high, like a stove, so she seemed to be hanging on the edge of the stove to bake, and she was panicked.
She immediately stopped moving, Qin Ziheng looked tall and sturdy, like a type that couldn't move when he was asleep, in fact, it was the opposite, he was very light in sleep, and if he moved a little, he would be awakened.
Looking at the window, not only can you see clearly through the window paper, but the general light penetration can still be distinguished, the sky outside is not yet bright, but there are birds chirping tactfully and crisply, and it is not far from dawn.
I don't know if the situation will be a little better today. Chen Youyi felt a heartache when she thought of the tender leaves that had been bitten by insects. She was reluctant to eat even a single pepper, and the pests actually gnawed the whole plant.
Alas, if only there were pesticides, as long as they were lifted up and sprayed, these little pests would lie on the ground one by one with their bellies blushed.
Unfortunately, not only are there no pesticides, but there are no basic manuals for growing peppers.
Not only rare peppers and other plants, but also for other crops and fruits, there seems to be no formal control measures.
That's why everyone lives so poorly, with a lot of arable land, but often not enough food.
"I sighed early in the morning, and I was worried about the pepper seedlings again?"
A deep voice sounded in his ears, with a slight sleepiness that he was not awake, and at some point, Qin Ziheng had already woken up and was looking at Chen Youyi.
"Got you?" Chen Youyi covered her mouth and spoke quietly, did she really sigh just now? Maybe it's really worrying.
She flattened her mouth, shrunk the whole person into Qin Ziheng's arms, stretched her arms out of the quilt, and complained, "It's hot." ”
Qin Ziheng laughed lightly, didn't quarrel with her, just hugged the person a little tighter. When it comes to farming, he has been farming for a longer time than Chen Youyi, but when it comes to having some experience to deal with the pests of pepper seedlings, he can't do anything.
"I'll go to a nearby village again today and ask experienced old people, maybe there will be clues." There really wasn't much he could do other than run more errands.
Chen Youyi waved his hand and gave up: "No need, the level of the nearby villages is about the same as the level of our village, it doesn't make sense of the old method they know, everyone in our village knows, I accept the reality, no one here knows how to treat pests." ”
According to the Wang brothers, there are generally insect pests, and most croppers will choose to accept their fate, and the only thing they can do is to manually catch insects, and they can save a little bit.
"It's a big deal to pull out those pepper seedlings, in addition to those few, I still have a field of pepper seedlings!" Chen Youyi didn't know if she was comforting herself or Qin Ziheng.
Neither of them said anything bad, what if the existing pest seedlings were pulled out, and the other seedlings also developed the same symptoms.
As soon as it was dawn, Chen Youyi got up in a hurry, and rushed to the field without eating breakfast. When I saw it, my heart jumped, and there were a few more seedlings with insects than yesterday.
The leaves of the pepper seedlings that have been badly infested are curled up, revealing the light color on the back, which is very obvious at a glance, like white waves in the green waves, and the waves make people's hearts turn over the river and the sea.
Holding the simple tongs, catching the insects and roasting them to death, Chen Youyi vented her anger while feeling like an insect roasted on the fire, and the whole person was anxious.
A figure walked up to Chen Youyi from far and near, dragged her up, and dragged her home, of course, it was Qin Ziheng.
"There will always be a way, but it really doesn't work, we spend a little more time catching all the worms, it's just two acres of land, and we can get busy." Qin Ziheng saw her sullen, and his mood became gloomy: "Go back to breakfast first, I can't work hungry." ”
Back in the small courtyard, Mu Xiulian gathered a few breakfast items that Chen Youyi liked to eat, and was waiting for them. Knowing that Chen Youyi has been worried recently, she is trying to explain her and make her happy.
Chen Youyi knew that they cared about themselves, and no matter how worried they were, they would put them away for the time being, and they couldn't let them be embarrassed by themselves.
