does using seven dust when planting corn help prevent worms?

1 Answer

Answer :

There are probably some better alternatives to using sevin dust as it is a pesticide and can cause problems for humans.  It will also kill many good insects as well as the harmful ones.  If you do use sevin dust be sure to carefully read the application instructions.   Using mineral oil as an alternative might be a good idea. Otherwise you can cut off the infected areas.
