A agricultural supply seller from Yandu District, Yancheng City called to report that a local farmer used abamectin and dimehypo to control pests in rice fields. After application, a small amount of pesticide solution was left over and was incidentally sprayed onto 0.1 mu of soybeans grown by the family.

Melon seedlings are very sensitive to many insecticides and are highly prone to pesticide damage, so insecticides must be used with extra care. For pests such as flea beetles, the moat method can be used: dig a small ditch around the seedbed, line it with waterproof plastic sheeting, then fill it with water and add Shennongbao or Amaier to form an isolation belt, which has a very good effect (this method comes from farmers); another method is to broadcast some Shennongbao or Amaier poisoned soil around the seedbed, which also works well. If leafminers appear, Qiangbang or Miesha can be sprayed, or alternatively 1.8% abamectin can be sprayed. If aphids appear during the seedling stage, add one bag of the stress-resistance and yield-increasing agent Shunshengnong to either of the above two pesticides, and then leafminers and aphids will all be controlled.
