The latest course on Management techniques and methods of Pleurotus ostreatus during its emergence period

Pleurotus ostreatus is one of our common edible mushrooms, and when Pleurotus ostreatus is cultivated, winter is the time to produce mushrooms, and the management of mushroom period is an important part of high quality and high yield of Pleurotus ostreatus. If it is not managed properly, it is easy to not sprout, grow and be infected with diseases and insect pests. So how to manage the mushroom emergence period? Let's take a look.

1. Adjust temperature and humidity

The temperature continues to drop in winter, although Pleurotus ostreatus adapts to a wide range of temperature, it is also inevitably affected by low temperature. Therefore, the first thing to do in management is to adjust the temperature and humidity. The temperature of Pleurotus ostreatus cultivated in autumn and winter is generally between 5 and 30 degrees. Once the temperature is below 5 degrees, the fruiting body grows slowly, or even stops growing, so the temperature of the mushroom shed should not be lower than 5 degrees, but it should not be too high, and it is best to keep it at 10-12 degrees. In humidity management, should not be frequently irrigated, lest the mushroom shed humidity is larger, it is not suitable to spray too much water, especially at night, in spraying water, we should pay attention to spray water fog, should not directly use water pipes to spray water.

2. Increase the scattered light

After the emergence of Pleurotus ostreatus, there are certain requirements for light, the fruiting body in the lack of light environment, its stem will grow too long, and the cover will become smaller, so that its commodity will be reduced, affecting the sales price. And many growers think that it is caused by poor ventilation or other improper management, the light of the mushroom shed should not be too strong, the correct management is to ensure that the mushroom shed has bright scattered light. However, it is not suitable for direct sunlight, direct sunlight will lead to less mushroom production at both ends of the bag, which will increase the amount of mushroom production in the middle, thus affecting the quality of Pleurotus ostreatus.

3. Disease prevention

In winter, the temperature is low, insect pests are very few, in cultivation, the main need to prevent diseases, generally speaking, the most important diseases in the mushroom stage are dry rot and bacterial spot disease. The frequency of dry rot in the old mushroom shed was higher. After the disease, a large number of small mushroom buds began to die and gradually turn yellow and dry. Spray is the best way to prevent dry rot, such as mushroom nemesis, No. 2 wart pig, mildew spot net, Baoqing and other drugs, the effect of alternate use is better.

After the outbreak of bacterial spot disease, small yellowish-brown spots will be formed on the bacterial lid, and with the development of the disease, the spots will gradually expand and synthesize large spots, thus affecting the commercial nature of Pleurotus ostreatus. To prevent this disease, in addition to spraying water spray and controlling humidity, we should also pay attention to timely removal of diseased Pleurotus ostreatus and timely spraying of fungicides.
