Latest Analysis of Common Problems in Morel Cultivation
The morel mushroom is a very common type of fungus and has a very large market demand in our country. Therefore, the cultivation area of morel mushrooms in our country is now very extensive, but morel cultivation is not as simple as imagined. When cultivating morel mushrooms, many problems often occur, so what exactly are these problems? Below, the editor will briefly analyze the common problems in morel cultivation for everyone. Let's take a look!
1. Unreasonable culture soil
When cultivating morel mushrooms, attention must be paid to selecting good culture soil. Choosing unreasonable culture soil is a problem that many people often encounter during cultivation. When cultivating morel mushrooms, the culture soil should be slightly alkaline, mainly prepared from materials such as sawdust, bran, and corn cobs. Mix these with the surface soil to prepare a loose and soft nutrient soil. Then add an appropriate amount of insecticide to the nutrient soil to do a good job in preventing pests such as termites. The standard for preparing the nutrient soil should be that after watering, it forms a ball when squeezed in the hand and breaks into granules when patted. After preparing the nutrient soil, attention should be paid to making the ridge beds well, with the distance between each ridge bed kept at about 20 cm, to facilitate watering and harvesting work.
2. Improper ventilation
Morel mushrooms have relatively high requirements for air quality, especially during the development of the fruiting bodies, and good ventilation must be ensured. If the indoor carbon dioxide concentration is too high, it will cause very serious effects on the morel fruiting bodies, resulting in various undesirable phenomena such as being thin and small. Therefore, during the growth of morel mushrooms, sufficient oxygen must be maintained, and ventilation work in the shed must be done well during cultivation. However, when ventilating, attention should be paid to coordinating the temperature well, so that there is both good ventilation capacity and prevention of temperature decrease. Then, before the mushroom buds have fully grown, the ventilation volume should not be too large, otherwise the tips are likely to dry out and die.
3. Insufficient nutrition
Morel mushrooms also have a very large demand for nutrients, and during cultivation it is necessary to ensure that morel mushrooms have sufficient nutrition. Nutrition should be ensured comprehensively, with reasonable supplementation of various nutrients such as vitamins and active fructose. First, we must establish a good beneficial microbial community, promote the growth of mycelium, improve the nutrient conversion rate of the soil, and accelerate the growth speed of morel mushrooms. If nutrition is insufficient, it will not only affect the growth of the mycelium, but the fruiting bodies will likewise be inhibited. Yield will be reduced, and quality will also decline. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to doing a good job in nutrient supplementation during cultivation.
4. Unsuitable environment
When cultivating morel mushrooms, we must also pay attention to controlling the cultivation environment of the morel mushrooms well. For example, temperature, light, humidity, and so on. If the temperature of the mushroom shed is unsuitable during cultivation, then it can very easily lead to the death of morel mushrooms. During the growth of the morel fruiting bodies, an appropriate amount of scattered light should be provided to promote the growth of morel mushrooms. Then we must also control humidity well. If the humidity does not reach 75%-80%, the mushroom buds are very likely to die. Therefore, appropriate mist spraying should be used to increase humidity.
The above are the analyses of several common problems in morel cultivation. Therefore, during cultivation we should pay attention to doing a good job in the management of these aspects, ensure the normal growth of morel mushrooms, and improve cultivation benefits. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and we hope it can help everyone!
