Key Techniques for Summer Management of Spring-Planted Oyster Mushrooms

Mushroom Cultivation 0 views
For oyster mushrooms sown in early spring, once summer arrives, rising temperatures and increased humidity not only inhibit the formation of mushroom buds but also encourage the breeding and spread of pests and diseases, making summer management essential. 1. Choose a location with higher ground and good drainage, dig a trench 60-80 cm deep and 50 cm wide, pack the four walls firm, and spread lime powder in the trench, or spray a lime emulsion with 800 times carbendazim solution. If pests or diseases have already appeared in the growing substrate, they should be dealt with first. For those already infected with contaminating microorganisms, scrape off the contaminated areas and soak the mushroom bags or blocks in lime emulsion or 800 times carbendazim solution; for those harmed by insect pests, soak them in 800 times dichlorvos, and after drying, arrange and stack them in the trench to a height of about 40 cm, then fill the trench with sandy loam soil at about 60% moisture content. The covering soil should be 20 cm above ground level, then pat it so that it is moderately firm, with the surface forming an arch shape.

2. When September arrives, temperatures begin to drop. Take out the mushroom bags or blocks, soak them in rice-washing water for 12 hours, then place them in the cultivation room for management. Ventilation and air exchange should be strengthened, and the day-night temperature difference increased, and mushroom buds will soon appear. After that, routine management is all that is needed.
