真菌蚋（蚊滋）的處理方法

當細心回想，土壤上曾有過像螢光的小點，原來這是真菌蚋的幼蟲的絲。

最初在盆栽中出了一兩隻真菌蚋（蚊滋）。由於太忙沒有理會他們。結果在有三格幼苗的土壤表面上出現大量似出白色的真菌物體，一天後有部份轉至褐色。真菌蚋（蚊滋）的數量也多了幾隻。

我決心要處理這些真菌蚋（蚊滋）。在網上有位年輕的太太在其blog上介糿用tumble dryer sheets。

我在兩天前乘車時，曾在思考如果為樹木殺滅埃及吹棉介殼蟲（見本人的Facebook內提及天水圍樹木被埃及吹棉介殼蟲為患一文）。想到了用freeze spray。今早，我以Freeze spray將真菌蚋（蚊滋）的成蟲殺滅了。真菌蚋成蟲被Freeze Spray急凍之下，最初還有活動能力，相信其腹部不能禦寒，一分鐘內變得無法行動，然後死去。

我會更換受真菌蚋（蚊滋）幼蟲感染的泥土，亦會為泥土噴上Freeze Spray，研究一下Freeze Spray對真菌蚋（蚊滋）幼蟲的影響。

如果能對真菌蚋（蚊滋）幼蟲有效，我會試用Freeze Spray去對付 埃及吹棉介殼蟲。

種子檢疫的經驗

十多年前，經多翻嘗識開發用不同的種子培植芒果的方法。在開發過程中，三十多個培植盤樣本之中，其中一個樣本中發現一隻芒果種子象甲蟲。這是我第一次接觸植物種子相關的蟲子。

因為這次的經歴，我每次以種子種植，都會將種子放在密閉的培植床之上。其中一個作用為檢疫。

最近研究種植枇杷，給了一些本地買回來的枇杷給姊姊吃，她把種子給我，並附上她在家鄉吃的枇杷的種子。今天，我也買了一些進口的枇杷。姊姊給回來的，有部份有梨小食心蟲。將種子的外衣剝開，有部份發現梨小食心蟲的蟲卵。

每次大量種植之前，我都會剝開種子的外衣，作初步的檢疫。然後，就會將種之放在隔離用的培養器內，以減低外來物種入侵的機會。

我個人認為有意去栽培的人，應該養成良好的檢疫習慣。尤其是不要忽略種子檢疫。

		while(true){
			out.print("What is your name (type 'quit' to quit) ? ");
			if(sc.hasNext()){
				name=sc.nextLine().trim();
				if(name.toLowerCase().equals("quit"))
					break;
			}
			out.printf("Hello, %s!\n",name);
		}
	}
}

5. save the file by press ctrl-x
