Detailed Explanation of Key Points for Edible Mushroom Pest Control Techniques

1. Keep the mushroom yard clean. Before cultivation, the mushroom house must be thoroughly cleaned and evenly sprayed with an 800-fold dilution of trichlorfon or dichlorvos solution. For outdoor mushroom cultivation, clear the weeds around the cultivation site and spray the soil and surrounding area with a 250-fold dilution of trichlorfon solution.

2. Prevent adult insects from entering the room. For indoor mushroom cultivation, nail 60-mesh fine gauze over doors, windows, ventilation holes, and other openings to prevent flies, mushroom gnats, and other adult insects from entering and causing damage.

3. Chemical fumigation. For indoor edible mushroom cultivation, under sealed conditions, fumigate with 2—3 tablets of aluminum phosphide per cubic meter of space to eliminate indoor insect sources.

4. Treat the compost. Mix a 500-fold dilution of 40% phoxim into the compost for a very good insecticidal effect.

5. Spray pesticide to kill insects. If pests are found before mushroom fruiting, spray the bed surface with a 500-fold dilution of trichlorfon solution, a 1000-fold dilution of kill solution, or an 800-fold dilution of dichlorvos solution to eliminate the insects.
