How to prevent and control diseases, pests, and weeds in edible fungi? A full analysis of the key technical points
How to prevent and control diseases, pests, and weeds in edible fungi.
As a good money-making project with small investment, a short cycle, and quick returns, edible fungus cultivation has developed rapidly in China, and edible fungus products were once in short supply and sold at high prices. In the process of edible fungus cultivation, how do you prevent and control diseases, pests, and weeds in edible fungi?
Neurospora, also known as Neurospora (fungus), is mostly red or pink and tends to occur on wheat grain spawn and cooked substrate. It is more likely to occur under high temperature and high humidity conditions. The typical symptoms are: when a fungus bag is infected, white granular colonies first appear on the local substrate inside the bag, then become sparse and fluffy, and after one day a large number of conidia are produced and appear orange-red. If it is not cleaned up in time or the cleaning method is wrong, it will cause contamination of the entire environment.
Measures for disease control:
(1) Do a good job of environmental sanitation, keep the cultivation site clean and dry, with no accumulation of waste material or contaminated material. The substrate should be fresh and dry, and clean water should be used for mixing the material.
(2) Sterilize and alkalize the substrate, add 0.5% lime powder to the material to increase the pH of the material, and treat the soil by spreading lime for disinfection.
(3) Purify and disinfect the air at the inoculation and mycelium incubation sites.
(4) Keep the shed cool, ventilated, and dry, and control the temperature at around 25°C. If the ground is damp, lay a thick plastic sheet to isolate the moisture.
(5) Mushroom houses and cultivation sites should undergo paddy-upland rotation or be left empty for a period of time.

For the control of Neurospora disease, early detection and early treatment are required to prevent spread. Once Neurospora-infected fungus bags are found, immediately wrap the contaminated bags with gauze soaked in disinfectant and destroy them. If Neurospora appears on part of a fungus bag, diesel oil can be dripped onto or smeared over the conidial masses to prevent the spread of Neurospora. When Neurospora occurs in the late stage of mycelium incubation in fungus bags, the affected bags can be buried in soil 30-40 cm deep with poor air permeability. After 10-20 days of anaerobic treatment, the disease can be effectively reduced.
