What are the control methods for mushroom mites?
How do you prevent and control rotten mushroom logs? Please guide. The following methods can be used for reference: ① The substrate formula is unreasonable, the ingredients are not mixed evenly, and additives such as urea, superphosphate, gypsum, and lime are added in excess. ② The cultivation room is poorly ventilated for a long time, the carbon dioxide concentration is high, and oxygen is insufficient, causing the mycelium to revert and affecting mycelial growth...
How do you prevent and control mites in shiitake mushrooms? Please guide.Mushroom mites include red spider mites and mushroom lice. Their occurrence environment mainly lurks in barnyard manure, feed, and substrate, and large numbers of mites are often present in chicken coops and livestock sheds, grain warehouses, or places with poor environmental conditions and rich humus. Mites are very tiny and are often overlooked in the early stage of occurrence; once they break out, they can easily cause major disasters. Mites can cause damage at every stage of shiitake mushroom production, feeding on shiitake mycelium and fruiting bodies.
Doing a good job of environmental sanitation at the mushroom cultivation site can effectively eliminate the occurrence of mite damage. For cultivation rooms where mite damage has occurred, fumigate with drugs such as dichlorvos to kill mites before reuse. During the mycelial cultivation period, spraying a 1000-fold dilution of dicofol or a 500-fold dilution of propargite gives better results. Do not use pesticides during the fruiting body cultivation period, otherwise the mushrooms are prone to phytotoxicity, and eating them can harm human health.
