Chapter 110 Pest Crisis

"What's over?"

Qin Yan asked with lingering fear, not wanting to step into the field again. The insect just now seemed to have not stepped on it, but just slapped it off. What if I climbed up again?

"You come and see, this is a corn borer. It's over. Why is there so much this year? Can this corn be harvested?"

Aunt Guiqin took open the corn leaves and showed them to Qin Yan. The small corn stalks were covered with dense larvae. The head was dark black, the body was yellow and white, slightly reddish-brown, and the body was obvious. It made people suffer from dense phobia.

Qin Yan shivered, ran away again, and ran out of the corn field completely. He could only communicate loudly with Aunt Guiqin.

"No, aunt, I'm afraid of insects. Why are there so many insects in the cornfield? I can't accept it!"

"Stop talking about you, I can't accept it."

Aunt Guiqin's goose bumps fell all over the floor, and she 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 can open the leaves and see. If the corn moth hadn't crawled onto Xiaoyan, I wouldn't have known that the situation this year is so serious. It's over. I have to tell the captain first."

Aunt Guiqin shook her head and left in a hurry. Qin Yan also hurriedly walked away, but she was not going to find the captain, she was going home to change clothes! She didn't want to wear clothes crawled by insects!

"What! Are you serious? It's that serious? Didn't it burn all during winter? Didn't the larvae that survived winter? Why are there so many in the field?"

When Zheng Jianxun heard this, he couldn't even sit steadily and almost fell off the chair. They planted a lot of corn! Aunt Guiqin nodded with a sad face.

"More than last year, it's more! If they eat this, when they get harvested, will there be only one empty shell left? What else can I collect?"

"Go and go to the field to take a look!"

Zheng Jianxun rushed to the ground and met many solemn members along the way. They all came up and said in a verbal manner.

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

"Why did there suddenly be so many corn borers? I saw that there weren't ones yet!"

Qin Yan also came over after changing his clothes. When he heard everyone’s concerns, he couldn’t help but worry. After Aunt Guiqin’s popular science, she also understood that the most feared thing about growing corn is the harm of corn borers. This insect will chew off the corn and will be planted in white at that time. In addition to paddy fields, all the crops planted in the team were rice, and there were more crops planted in other dry lands, including corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes. These three are indispensable staple foods for everyone and coarse grains.

Corn can be eaten directly or ground into corn flour to make steamed corn cakes, etc. If the corn harvest is not good, everyone will probably go hungry, so everyone is so nervous.

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

Qin Yan thought about it and asked in a low voice, "If there are insecticides in crops, someone will definitely be able to develop insecticides. Not to mention anything else, she still knows DDT. It is said that it is because 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 uncomfortable. Today, there are shortages of fertilizers and pesticides. Basically, they rely on rural earthworks to make their own. Once the earthworks cannot be done, they will basically be done. They have already killed insect eggs before planting corn. Generally speaking, they are quite effective. Corn borers cannot be eliminated, but they will not appear in such a large area. This year, it is probably because there is a lot of rain and it is too wet, which makes the corn borers take advantage of loopholes.

Qin Yan was confused and didn't understand these things in the field very much, but she heard a point: pesticides are effective! Well, 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 you can sense that you don’t have to open the box yourself, Qin Yan did not fully check it out. He just hurriedly skipped up and knew what was inside. Anyway, they used the most often, and the others were placed there intact. Knowing that pesticides were useful, Qin Yan got into the space after returning home and found the row of containers that specially placed pesticides.

The packaging of these pesticides is very simple and unpretentious, very consistent with this era. You can tell at a glance that it was produced in this era. She looked at it one by one and found a pesticide that can solve the corn borer. As long as you dilute it in proportion, mix it thoroughly with fine sand, and then sprinkle the medicinal sand into the trumpet of the corn plant, it will have a good insecticidal effect.

Although these pesticide packaging is simple, the effect is not produced in this era, and it cannot be produced by the system, right? Then you have to find a good reason.

Qin Yan thought about it for a long time in the space, and Shengmanjiang was late. There were already a lot of goods he had bought in the space, including the very popular Shanghai watches produced in this era, some Queliang shirts, and even several Phoenix bicycles. There were also some other things piled up in a corner of the grassland. The space was very large, and he had several times more things in it and both of them had a place to stay.

"What's wrong? What's up? Why did you come in so early today? Don't you have to go to work?"

Shengmanjiang came in with two plates, one was fried yellow beef and the other was eight-treasure duck. The aroma instantly overflowed. Qin Yan sniffed the fragrance, and his stomach suddenly started to rumbling.

"I went there for a long time. In the afternoon, I found that the corn borer was harmful to it, so I didn't go to work anymore. Everyone was discussing how to solve this problem."

Qin Yan touched his flat belly and walked over. The two of them set up a table and two chairs in the space. They no longer had to sit on the grassland pitifully and eat hard when eating.

"Corn borer? Is it very serious?"

Sheng Manjiang frowned when he heard this, and stopped working and discussed it. It seemed that he knew the answer without asking.

"Well, but there are pesticides in the space, which should be cured. If you go and have a look, you will say that you brought it back from outside? Anyway, the place outside is big, so it is not uncommon to have any good pesticides. To be safe, they tore up the packaging outside. In the future, they even want you to buy medicine again, but they can't find it."

Qin Yan was so greedy that he tasted Babao duck first. Well, it tasted authentic.

"good."

There was medicine to cure it, Shengmanjiang's tight heart was instantly relieved, and he was not in a hurry to see it. Instead, he pinched Qin Yan's little face and said helplessly.

"Little greedy cat, I just touched the pesticides. Have you washed your hands and pinched them to eat them. You are not afraid of poisoning."

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

Qin Yan was not convinced, and stroked Shengmanjiang's face twice with his fingers that had pinched the Babao Duck, and wiped his face as a towel. Shengmanjiang didn't dislike it, so he turned his head, bit her white finger, kissed her a few more times, and then said without changing his expression.

“It’s really clean.”
