Third, in terms of green pest control, it is recommended to further study the occurrence laws of major pests and diseases of fresh corn, and develop biological control or ecological control measures to ensure the green and safe products. Finally, research and innovation are also needed in product processing and preservation. The bottleneck of the short shelf life of fresh corn after harvest can be broken through by technologies such as vacuum quick freezing and controlled atmosphere storage; at the same time, develop corn leisure and ready-to-eat products, corn deep-processed healthy foods, etc. to improve product diversity. There is still a lot of work to be done around the entire industry chain of new varieties of fresh corn, and scientific research and production need to be closely integrated. Through continuous scientific and technological innovation and promotion practice, Linhai City's fresh corn industry is expected to achieve upgrading and develop in the direction of high yield, high quality, high efficiency, ecology and safety, providing more high-quality "fresh corn" results for regional agricultural development and residents' tables.
