How do you achieve pollution-free pest and disease control when growing white ferula mushroom? Please explain the methods.
For pollution-free pest and disease control in white ferula mushroom, you can refer to the following methods:
Maintain good environmental hygiene at the mushroom yard, disinfect and sterilize before use, promptly wash and disinfect tools, transport discarded material to a place far from the mushroom house, ensure the growing substrate is fresh, free of mold, and thoroughly sterilized, and create suitable growing environment conditions; seal the ventilation openings of the mushroom house with insect-proof netting; for fungus gnat pests, use electric lights and sticky traps for trapping and killing.
Mycelium cultivation stage: if the substrate becomes contaminated by foreign molds in the early stage of mycelium cultivation, pick them out and crush them, mix in new substrate, and re-sterilize and re-inoculate; if the substrate becomes seriously contaminated by foreign molds in the middle stage, take it far away and burn it; if localized foreign mold contamination occurs at the bottom of the substrate in the late stage, it can continue to be kept for fruiting; if the cotton plug of the cultivation bag becomes contaminated by red bread mold (Neurospora), promptly cover it with a wet towel, move it out of the cultivation room, and burn it; remove infected mushroom beds or mushroom blocks, take them outdoors and bury them deep, and spray the infected area and its surroundings with a 600-fold dilution of 50% carbendazim wettable powder.
Fruiting stage: during the fruiting stage, localized foreign mold contamination appears on the cultivation bags. You can smear the infected parts with lime so that they continue to fruit; if the foreign mold contamination of the cultivation bags is relatively serious, take them out and burn them to avoid affecting other cultivation bags; when mushroom flies are found, strengthen ventilation in the mushroom house, reduce the humidity of the mushroom house and the substrate, install insect-proof netting on doors and windows if conditions permit, and use black light lamps inside the mushroom house to trap and kill them. During the cultivation period, do not spray any chemical agents on the fruiting bodies.
