Stored corn has worms, which is a common problem, but it is also a problem that needs to be taken seriously. First of all, we need to make it clear that corn insects are not caused by defects in the corn itself, but because of improper storage environment or storage methods. Therefore, we need to take some measures to prevent corn worms, and once corn worms are found, we must also take measures to deal with them in time.
First of all, it is very important to prevent corn worms. There are a few things we can do to prevent corn before storing it. For example, corn is dried, which reduces the moisture content in the corn, which reduces the likelihood of bug growth. Also, store corn in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from humidity and high temperatures, which can reduce the growth and reproduction of bugs.
If corn worms are found, there are a few things we can do to deal with it. First, separate the corn from the rest of the corn to avoid contagion. Then, the corn with raw bugs is left to dry in the sun, which kills the bugs and reduces their number. If the situation is severe, some pesticides can be used to treat the corn. However, it should be noted that it is important to pay attention to safety when using pesticides to avoid harm to the human body and the environment.
In short, it is not terrible for stored corn to have worms, as long as we take the right prevention and treatment measures, we can effectively reduce the growth and reproduction of worms and protect our food security. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the selection of storage environment and storage method to avoid the recurrence of similar problems.
