Chapter 110: Pest Crisis

"What's over?"

Qin Yan asked with palpitations, I don't really want to step into that field again, the insect just now doesn't seem to have trampled to death, but just slapped it off, what if it climbs up again.

"Come and see, this is a corn borer, it's over, why are there so many this year, can this corn still be harvested?"

Aunt Guiqin opened the corn leaves and showed them to Qin Yan, the small corn stalks and corn leaves were covered with dense larvae, the head was dark black, the body was yellowish white and slightly reddish brown, and the hair on the back of the body was obvious.

Qin Yan shuddered, ran out again, and ran out of this cornfield completely, so he could only communicate loudly with Aunt Guiqin.

"No, auntie, I'm afraid of insects, why are there so many insects in the cornfield! I can't take it! ”

"Don't talk about you, I can't accept it."

The goosebumps on Aunt Guiqin's arm also fell to the ground, and she also ran out like Qin Yan.

"What's wrong with you? What are you shouting? ”

Other uncles and aunts also poked their heads out of the cornfield and asked.

"You guys break the leaves and take a look, if it weren't for the corn borer crawling on Xiao Yan, I wouldn't have known that the situation was so serious this year, this is over, I have to tell the captain first."

Aunt Guiqin shook her head and left in a hurry, Qin Yan also followed her steps and hurried away, but instead of going to the captain, she went home to change her clothes! I don't want to wear clothes that have been crawled by bugs!

"What! Are you serious? Is it that serious? Didn't they all burn during the winter, and didn't kill the larvae that survived the winter? How can there be so many in the field! ”

When Zheng Jianxun heard this, he couldn't sit steadily, and almost fell off the chair, but they planted a lot of corn! Aunt Guiqin nodded sadly.

"What's more, more than last year! If this is eaten by them, when the harvest comes, won't there be only an empty shell left, and what else will be harvested? ”

"Let's go and see in the field!"

Zheng Jianxun went directly to the field, and met many team members with solemn faces along the way, and they came up one after another and gossiped.

"Captain, I looked at the cornfield, and it really didn't work."

"Why are there so many corn borers all of a sudden, I didn't see them a while ago!"

Qin Yan also came over after changing her clothes, and when she heard everyone's worries, she couldn't help but worry about it, after Aunt Guiqin's popular science, she also understood that the most feared thing about planting corn is the harm of corn borer, this kind of insect will gnaw the corn to the bare bit, and it will be planted in vain at that time. In addition to the paddy fields, all the crops planted in the team are rice, and there are more crops in other dry lands, including corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are indispensable staple foods and coarse grains.

Corn can be eaten directly and can also be ground into cornmeal to make wowotou tortillas and the like, if the corn harvest is not good, then everyone is probably going to be hungry, so everyone is so nervous.

"Doesn't that kill insects? Are there any pesticides or pesticides that are effective? ”

Qin Yan thought about it, and asked in a low voice with Aunt Guiqin, if there are pests in crops, someone must be able to develop pesticides, not to mention anything else, she still knows about dichlorvos, it is said that it is because the insecticide is too powerful, but many people use it for suicide and then stop production.

"This thing is very tricky, where can I get so many pesticides?"

Aunt Guiqin shook her head uncomfortably, this year, there is a shortage of chemical fertilizers, and pesticides are the same, basically relying on the rural earthwork themselves, once the earthwork can't be done, it will basically be over. Originally, they had killed insect eggs before planting corn, generally speaking, they were quite effective, corn borer could not be eliminated, but it would not appear in such a large area, this year it is estimated that it is because of the rain, too wet, to the corn borer to exploit the loophole.

Qin Yan listened to the clouds and fog, and she didn't understand these things in the field very well, but she heard a key point, pesticides are effective! Hmm, she remembered that the things in the space seemed to have pesticide classification...

Because there are too many things and there are many types, even if he can sense that he doesn't need to open the box in person, Qin Yan didn't completely check it, he just hurriedly glanced at it, knowing what was inside, anyway, the most commonly used by them were ingredients, clothes and the like, and the others were still in good condition. Knowing that pesticides were useful, Qin Yan went into the space after returning home and found the row of containers dedicated to pesticides.

The packaging of these pesticides is very unpretentious, and this era is very consistent, at a glance you know that it is produced in this era, she looked at the past one by one, and really found the pesticide that can solve the corn borer, as long as it is diluted proportionally and then fully mixed with fine sand, and then sprinkled into the bell mouth of the corn plant, it will have a good insecticidal effect.

Although the packaging of these pesticides is very simple, but looking at the effect, it feels like it is not produced in this era, and it will not be produced by the system, right? There's a good reason for that.

Qin Yan thought about it in the space for a long time, Sheng Manjiang was late, and there were already a lot of goods he bought in the space, including very popular Shanghai brand watches produced in this era, as well as really good shirts, and even several Phoenix brand bicycles, as well as some other things, all piled up in a corner of the grassland. The space is very large, and he enters several times the things to come in, and both of them still have a place to stay.

"What's the matter, what are you thinking, why did you come in so early today and don't have to go to work?"

Sheng Manjiang came in with two plates, one plate was fried yellow beef, and the other plate was eight-treasure duck, and the aroma overflowed instantly. Qin Yan sniffed the fragrance, and his stomach rumbled instantly.

"I went for a long time, and in the afternoon I found a corn borer in the field, so I didn't go to work again, and everyone was discussing how to solve this matter."

Qin Yan touched his flat stomach and walked over, and the two of them set up a table and two chairs in the space, so that they no longer had to sit pitifully on the grass and eat poorly when eating.

"Corn borer? Is it serious? ”

Sheng Manjiang frowned when he heard this, and stopped work to discuss, as if he knew the answer without asking.

"Well, but there are pesticides in the space, it should be curable, you go and take a look, and when the time comes, how about saying that you brought it back from outside? Anyway, the outside is a big place, and it is not uncommon to have any good pesticides, and the packaging outside is torn off for the sake of insurance, and they just want you to buy medicine again in the future, and you can say that you can't find it. ”

Qin Yan tasted the Eight Treasure Duck first, well, it's this taste, authentic.

"Okay."

There is medicine to cure it, Sheng Manjiang's tight heart was put down in an instant, and he was not in a hurry to see it, but pinched Qin Yan's little face, and said helplessly.

"Little gluttonous cat, I just touched the pesticide, you can pinch and eat it if you wash your hands, you are not afraid of poisoning."

"I'm not stupid, I jumped out to wash my hands the first moment I touched the bottle, my slender hands are very clean, otherwise I wouldn't have eaten like this!"

Qin Yan was not convinced, and used his fingers that had pinched the Eight Treasure Duck to slash Sheng Manjiang's face twice, and wiped his face as a towel. Sheng Manjiang didn't dislike it, he turned his head sideways, bit her white and tender fingers, kissed her a few more times, and then said without changing his face.

"It's really clean."

Just, very sullen.
