The temperature is gradually rising and various pests are gradually increasing in the mushroom greenhouse. To get high yield, it is extremely important to prevent and control mite pests. Once the mites occur, it will accelerate the mushroom rot and deteriorate the ecological environment of edible mushroom, which will directly affect the mushroom farmers' income. What should be done about mites on mushroom sticks?
 
1. Preventive measures

2. Integrated control
 
①The seed source with mites is the main cause of mite outbreak in mushroom room, strengthen strain inspection, choose healthy mite free strains and avoid strains with mite damage for production.
 
② Use fresh and dry raw materials as culture material and autoclave or fermentation treatment.
