In the production of oyster mushrooms, small mushrooms often shrink, turn yellow, and eventually die on the mushroom bed due to improper environmental conditions in the mushroom house and culture materials, as well as improper management or disastrous weather. Sometimes small mushrooms die in batches, seriously affecting output and economic benefits. Today we will talk about how to prevent and control the death of young oyster mushrooms.
1. Selecting highly resistant varieties and increasing investment in cultivation facilities can effectively combat the impact of the external environment.
2. In case of high temperature weather, please pay attention to ventilation and cooling.
3. The moisture content of the culture material should be appropriate. If there is excessive water loss, replenish water in time to keep the relative air humidity at 85% to 90%.
4. Do not spray heavy water or unclean water on the young mushrooms. Spray water frequently, finely and evenly.
5. Ventilate appropriately according to the development status of the mushroom body, keep the air fresh, ensure that most of the mushrooms are ventilated, and the small mushrooms are less ventilated. Do not open the vents when there is wind outside. In winter and summer, it is not advisable to blow the mushroom bodies directly.
6. Give scattered light exposure during the fruiting period, especially during the young mushroom stage, avoid strong light exposure.
7. According to the reasons for the occurrence of pests and diseases, select state-approved special pesticides for edible fungi for prevention and control. Do not use drugs blindly. The dosage and application method must be operated in accordance with standards.
8. Be gentle when harvesting to prevent damage to the mushroom body.
The bodies of young oyster mushrooms are relatively fragile, and poor management can easily cause the young mushrooms to die in pieces. Therefore, mushroom farmers must pay more attention to the management of oyster mushrooms when growing oyster mushrooms.
