Requirements of Environmental conditions for the growth of Auricularia auricula

Auricularia auricula is a kind of fungal vegetable, in which the planting method is completely different from ordinary vegetables, and its growth environment has certain requirements when it is planted. For example, temperature, moisture, nutrition and so on, are indispensable when planting fungus. Otherwise the growth of Auricularia auricula will be seriously affected. So what exactly does Auricularia auricula require for the environment? The following editor has brought you the environmental conditions needed for the growth of Auricularia auricula. Let's have a look!

1. Nutrition

Auricularia auricula has a very high demand for nutrients in the process of growth, and nutrients such as nitrogen, carbon and inorganic salts need to be obtained from the planting substrate. Adequate nutrition can ensure the growth of Auricularia auricula, so in order to promote the growth of Auricularia auricula mycelium, it is necessary to prepare appropriate amount of wheat bran, rice bran and other substances with high nitrogen content. And Auricularia auricula also needs some inorganic salts such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, so wood is generally used as the cultivation substrate.

2. Temperature

Auricularia auricula has different requirements for temperature in each growing period, for example, the temperature should be kept at about 23 degrees in the fruiting body, and the most suitable temperature for mycelium growth is between 23 and 28 degrees. If the temperature is low in the suitable temperature range, although the growth cycle is long, the fruiting body grows well and the quality is strong. If the temperature is high, it is easy to cause the mycelium to grow and the yield and quality to decline. And if high temperature and high humidity, it will also lead to fruit body decay, the emergence of "ear" phenomenon.

3. Moisture

Like the temperature requirements of Auricularia auricula, there are different water requirements in each growth stage of auricularia auricula. When the mycelium grows, the water content of the wood should be kept at about 38%, and the water content of the culture material should be kept at 58%. The air humidity must not be less than 70%. When it comes to the fruiting body formation period, the requirement of moisture is higher, and the air humidity should be increased to 92%. When it is lower than 80%, the fruiting body growth will be seriously affected.

4. Air

The growth of Auricularia auricula is relatively good, so when planting, it is necessary to ensure that the planting land is sufficiently permeable and well-ventilated to meet the oxygen needs of the mycelium growth of Auricularia auricula. If the planting land is too closed and not easy to ventilate, the expansion of auricularia auricula is blocked, and it is easy to form malformed fungus such as chicken claw ear, resulting in the loss of commercial value. And to ensure good ventilation, but also can reduce fungus mildew rot, infected by miscellaneous bacteria.

5. Lighting

During the growth stage of mycelium, Auricularia auricula basically does not need light. However, a certain amount of light is needed during the growth of the fruiting body, but we should be careful not to let the sun shine directly, mainly by scattered light. In the fruiting body stage, if it is completely in a dark environment, Auricularia auricula should not form a fruiting body primordium, and insufficient light will also inhibit the growth of the fruiting body. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient scattered light to promote the growth of Auricularia auricula.

The above is a brief introduction to the requirements of the environmental conditions for the growth of Auricularia auricula. The planting substrate of Auricularia auricula is not soil, but wood. Therefore, the management is very different from the ordinary vegetable field management, so these are not only the requirements of the growth environment of Auricularia auricula, but also we need to do a good job in cultivation management, we must pay more attention. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
