What are the pollution-free control methods for the jujube looper moth?
The control principle is to make use of its characteristics of overwintering under the tree and the wingless female moth, strengthen control efforts under the tree, and eliminate or stop the female moths from climbing the tree to lay eggs. Large-scale control can reduce the insect population by 80%-90%. On this basis, to eliminate the larvae that slip through the net on the tree, pollution-free pesticides can be used for control. 1. Artificial pupa digging. Before the adults emerge in spring, turn the soil within 1 m around the tree and 15 cm deep to dig out pupae, collect the pupa clumps and dispose of them in a centralized manner.

How to Identify Mother Cultures and Spawn of Edible Fungi? A Detailed Guide to the Methods
Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) spawn: the mycelium is snow-white, thick and strong, spread out, and uniform, with even margins and a fast growth rate; on the bottle wall it develops in a fan-shaped, feather-like pattern, growing vigorously, and secretes soy-sauce-colored droplets. After the mycelium has fully covered the bottle, within 10 to 15 days an amber-colored transparent liquid is commonly seen, along with the distinctive fragrant aroma of shiitake, with no foul or musty odor. If the mycelial column inside the bottle pulls away from the bottle wall, this indicates that the substrate moisture is too high; if it has pulled away and the mycelial column also begins to shrink, with the surface mycelial skin thickening and turning dark brown, this indicates that the spawn has begun to age and cannot
