What are the corn weevils?
Weeevils or referred to in the United States as larger rice Weevils are a kind of beetle bearing its name from its state of greater relationship of rice Weevil. They are found in many areas around the world, mainly tropical, but are considered pests in the United States. Weevils corn is generally anywhere from 0.09 to 0.15 inches (2.5 to 4 millimeters) and their four red or yellowish spots are usually visible on the back. They are known to attack most crops and foods that relate to grain, and although they usually behave in grain, they can also behave in other types of crops. Prevention and control of contamination can be difficult and usually require conscientious monitoring to infest at the root before they get out of hand. Corn Weevils are particularly common in countries where corn is a prominent crop, such as Brazil, Argentina and Morocco. He became a fairly established pest in the United States and was reported in Eastern Canada, namely Ontario and Quebec.
Young corn Weevils are white and without legs with a fleshy larva when they hatch from their eggs. Adult maize maize can be colored in brown to black and are the most identifiable by four spots on their wing covers, which are more pronounced than the Weevil rice stains. The jub of the Weeevil corn is thin and long and its antennas are elbows in the structure and point forward. They have a great similarity to rice weevils, but are basically larger and stronger versions with more robust and efficient wings.
Weeevils corn is able to consume and live in any kind of grain or seeds in addition to corn and rice, including Wteplo, chestnuts, peas and rye. Corn Weevil can also consume processed versions of grain, not only live crops, including cereals, macarons and noodles that were omitted in moisture. When it comes to breeding, corn is also able to lay eggs in the fruit that was stored in a dampThe environment, because their tolerance to moisture is wider than their relationships that are.
The Weevils corn breeding process often causes considerable damage to the owner of the owner. Woman Corn Weevil usually opens an opening in the cereal core and inserts eggs, one egg on the core. It also excludes a wax substance that attaches a hole, and when the larva protrudes, it immediately feeds on and eventually appears outside to start again. The adult maize Weevil can live five to eight months and women can lay several hundred eggs in their lifetime.
Thenature of the breeding process makes it difficult to detect symptoms infestation to the naked eye. Moisture is a large part of the Weevil maize, so maintaining objects related to grain and cleaning works well in combination with monitoring and rapidly disposing of any infected grain.
One can usually test to see if any grain has been attacked when it floats in water. If it is light and hoveringIt can indicate a hole that a woman has in her. For great infestation, more serious measures such as thorough and conscientious cleaning of all cracks, corners and areas near the infected grain, except regular insecticidal tactics, may be used.
