What new methods are there for controlling pests in edible fungi.

Severe pest infestations in edible fungi have caused impacts on edible fungi; new methods for killing pests in edible fungi with pesticides:

When there are live insects or insect eggs in the spawn, the spawn can be put into a large plastic bag (wide double-layer greenhouse film, tied at one end to form a bag), and aluminum phosphide is added at a rate of 4 tablets per cubic meter of space; after about 6 hours, the bag can be opened and the spawn used.

If pests occur accidentally during the spawn-running period, water can be sprinkled on the ground, the fungus bags gathered together (pay attention to temperature to prevent overheating the fungi) and arranged, then covered with plastic film, and aluminum phosphide placed under the film at the same rate as above; however, pay attention to even placement and sealing the plastic film. After about 6 hours, remove the film and normal management can resume.

If pests are found during the fruiting period, and they are "escaped pests" that entered because prevention was not strict, for adults a suitable amount of pyrethroid insecticides can be sprayed; mushroom mosquito adults are extremely susceptible to the pesticide, so the lowest concentration used for vegetables is sufficient. If larvae are already found, they can be killed according to the above use of aluminum phosphide, but the fruiting bodies should be picked off. For young buds, the pesticide can be applied while the buds are present. Generally, for newly occurring pests, all can be killed in 4-6 hours.

New techniques for controlling pests in edible fungi. In the process of pest control, it must be reasonable.
