Points for attention in the cultivation of Pleurotus eryngii

I believe we all know and have eaten Pleurotus eryngii. It gets its name because of its almond flavor and fleshy meat similar to that of abalone. It is a strain cultivated in recent years. It is extremely popular in the market, with remarkable economic benefits and high planting prospects. So what should you pay attention to when planting it? the following pro-agricultural network brings you its planting notes.

1. Cultivation substrate

Pleurotus eryngii needs high nutrition in cultivation, and it has a strong ability to decompose lignin and cellulose. In an environment with sufficient nitrogen, it grows vigorously and has high yield. There are many substrates suitable for its growth, such as sawdust, straw, corncob and bagasse, which can be used to make main materials, which can be sifted and crushed, and then mixed well with cornmeal, calcium carbonate, sugar and gypsum powder. just remember to disinfect when bagging and filling bottles, so as to avoid the breeding of bacteria, infection of mycelium and adverse growth.

2. Temperature and humidity

The growth of Pleurotus eryngii is relatively strict for the temperature, and it is difficult to produce mushrooms if the temperature is too high or too low, which is disadvantageous to the growth, so it is necessary to ensure that it is suitable for growth, which is generally planted in autumn, winter and spring, and in areas with higher temperatures, the planting time should be changed according to the temperature. It is generally planted below 18 degrees, but it should not be higher than 30 degrees when the temperature of mycelium growth is between 22 and 38 degrees. During mushroom production, the temperature should be maintained between 10 and 18 degrees, the primordium will not appear below 8 degrees, and malformed mushrooms will easily appear when the temperature is higher than 20 degrees, which can easily lead to diseases and lead to dead and rotten mushrooms. In addition, in the mycelium growth stage, the water content of the culture substrate should be about 60% higher, while in the solid growth stage, the air humidity should be maintained at about 90%.

3. Lighting and ventilation

In the mycelium growth stage, the mycelium growth stage does not need light, but it needs fresh air to strengthen the ventilation effect, lack of ventilation, mycelium growth is very slow, primordium differentiation is delayed, mushroom buds atrophy. In the period of mushroom production, certain light conditions are needed, but the light should not be too strong. Scattered light can be irradiated manually to strengthen ventilation and lack of light, which is not conducive to mushroom production and easy diseases, resulting in dead mushrooms.

4. Sterilization

Pleurotus eryngii is easily contaminated, so it takes longer to sterilize than other bacteria and mushrooms. General atmospheric pressure sterilization should be kept at 100 degrees Celsius. As the quantity determines the duration of sterilization, generally 1000 bags should be sterilized for more than 12 hours, 2000 bags for more than 14 hours, and so on, almost 1000 bags take two hours. In addition, it is necessary to prevent secondary pollution after sterilization and cool in a sterile and clean environment. In order to ensure the success rate of inoculation, it is recommended to inoculate directly in the inoculation box.

The above are the points for attention of Pleurotus eryngii cultivation brought by the pro-agricultural network. I hope it can be helpful to you. Please pay attention to the pro-agricultural network.
