Problems Birds Can Cause Sweet Corn
Pest birds can hurt a decent size of your corn crop progress. This can hurt farmers because a lot of their stock is kept around to prepare for the busy season. Along with depleting your stock, birds can eat away at your corn or even at the kernels. Birds can also pull up the corn seedling and eat the seeds. If you are a farmer, this can make it difficult to earn a profit.
Save Your Sweet Corn
During harvest season, it is important to keep your corn and other vegetables protected from unwanted birds. Do-it-yourself methods can be used to help keep the birds away, momentarily but not permanently. Different bird control methods include:
- Netting – cover your crops with a net to keep birds out of your corn or a wire plant cage.
- Scare tactics – noise machines, shiny objects, scarecrows or colorful streamers.
These methods are effective but can take a long time to prepare and cover, especially if you have a lot of land.
