Key Technical Points for Pollution-Free Control of Edible Mushroom Pests

Technical Introduction:

Edible mushrooms, from spawn production and mycelial running to fruiting, are highly susceptible at every stage to invasion and damage by dozens of pests and pathogens, including various contaminating microorganisms, diseases, insect pests, nematodes and pest mites. Moreover, as the number of years of edible mushroom cultivation increases, the occurrence and damage of these harmful organisms have become a major factor limiting and restricting the continued development of edible mushroom production. This technology comprehensively integrates agricultural, physical and chemical control methods, and can effectively control the occurrence and damage of edible mushroom pests.

Core technical contents: (1) Centralized composting and fermentation treatment of edible mushroom waste to kill residual pests, diseases, contaminating microorganisms and other harmful organisms in the waste, avoiding cyclical transmission, infection and damage by pests and diseases; (2) Use of air disinfectants for standardized disinfection and sterilization of edible mushroom inoculation rooms and production sites to kill pathogenic bacteria in the air and avoid contamination by stray microorganisms; (3) Use of new environmentally friendly agents such as 50% Shibaigong wettable powder, 50% Shibaogong wettable powder and 1.8% Chongmanke emulsifiable concentrate to control contaminating microorganisms, diseases and insect pests of edible mushrooms; (4) Use of agents such as 1.8% Chongmanke emulsifiable concentrate and 3% Miler granule to treat casing soil to control edible mushroom nematodes; (5) Use of agents such as 50% Shibaigong wettable powder and 50% Shibaogong wettable powder to treat casing soil to control Mycogone perniciosa disease; (6) Use of mushroom fly and mosquito attractant lamps to trap and kill adult mushroom gnats and mushroom flies.

Economic and social benefits: The comprehensive integration of the above technologies can achieve a control effect of over 85% against edible mushroom diseases and insect pests, reduce losses from harmful organisms by more than 30%, and significantly improve the yield and quality of edible mushrooms.
