Why does rice have worms?
The reasons why rice will be infested with insects are as follows:

1, rice is infested with insects because rice is still growing. If the temperature and humidity of the rice storage place are high after harvest, the rice will absorb water and become wet, and the wet environment will provide conditions for the hatching of eggs. After the eggs hatch, there will be enough food in the rice to multiply rapidly, so that rice will give birth to many insects.

2. The scientific name of rice weevil in Mi Chong is rice weevil, which is often found in cereals. It is one of the main pests in cereals because of its fast reproduction speed.

3. As long as the Mi Chong is disposed of and the rice is cleaned, it can be eaten normally. Rice worms can be sealed in sealed plastic bags and then frozen in the refrigerator for two or three days.

4. After taking it out, add a proper amount of water and wash the rice once, and the eggs and insects will float. It can also be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and the insects will slowly climb out. You can also put a proper amount of garlic in the rice pocket, which also has insect repellent effect.

Methods to deal with rice worms:

1, one is ecological method. Putting pepper, garlic, etc. in rice has the advantages of no toxic and side effects, and good insect and insect repellent effects. The disadvantage is that rice will absorb the taste of these plants, which will affect the edible flavor of rice to some extent.

If the rice is infested with insects and cannot be exposed to the sun, it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, so that the insects can slowly climb out and then sieve it. Because after the sun exposure, the moisture in rice will quickly lose balance, and the original intact rice will become broken rice, which is more susceptible to moisture, and there will be more and more Mi Chong, and the broken rice will be sticky and have no rice flavor when cooked.

2. The other is chemical method. In industrial pest control, at present, the grain department and most grain enterprises generally adopt a chemical method-phosphine circulation fumigation, because this method has low cost, rapid pest control and good effect. Put a certain dose of aluminum phosphide into the grain depot and seal it for more than a week.
