Control of Lentinus edodes mites

Mites include red spiders and fungus lice. The occurrence environment is mainly hidden in barnyard manure, feed and culture materials, chicken sheds, grain warehouses or places with poor environmental conditions and rich in humus, there are often a large number of mites. Mites are very small and are often ignored at the initial stage of occurrence. Once they break out, they can easily lead to catastrophes. Mites may cause damage in all stages of Lentinus edodes production, feeding on mycelium and fruiting bodies of Lentinus edodes.

Improving the environmental hygiene of bacteria culture places can effectively put an end to the occurrence of mites. For the culture room where mite damage occurs, fumigate and kill mites with dichlorvos and other drugs before re-use. During mycelial culture, triclofenac or propargite with 1000 times solution could be sprayed. Drugs should not be used during fruiting body cultivation, otherwise the mushroom body is prone to drug damage, which is harmful to human health after consumption.
