Last Updated: 2024/11/05, Lime has a significant disinfection and germicidal effect, but also rich in calcium, which is widely used in the production of edible fungi. 1. The application on the site removes weeds around the site, sprinkles a layer of lime powder, then cleans up the culture room, sprays conventional insecticides, and sprinkles a layer of lime powder. This can kill some miscellaneous bacteria, reduce the pollution base, especially bacterial pollution, and prevent pests such as slugs from invading the site. two。 Application in culture materials most edible fungi can be slightly alkaline.

Lime has a significant disinfection and germicidal effect, but also rich in calcium, which is widely used in the production of edible fungi.

1. The application on the site removes weeds around the site, sprinkles a layer of lime powder, then cleans up the culture room, sprays conventional insecticides, and sprinkles a layer of lime powder. This can kill some miscellaneous bacteria, reduce the pollution base, especially bacterial pollution, and prevent pests such as slugs from invading the site.

two。 Application in culture materials most edible fungi can grow normally in slightly alkaline culture materials, with the exception of acid-loving edible fungi such as hericium Erinaceus. Adding 1% or 2% lime to the culture material can basically control the pollution of miscellaneous bacteria in the cultivation of raw materials. Practice has proved that when Pleurotus ostreatus is cultivated with raw materials, compared with adding 2% lime and not adding lime, the contamination rate of miscellaneous bacteria in the former is less than 2%, and the latter is as high as 20% and 30%. Because the acidity of the material without lime is too high after composting and fermentation, and the pH value is generally below 5: 6, which is suitable for the growth of all kinds of miscellaneous bacteria and is easy to cause explosive pollution of miscellaneous bacteria. However, the culture material added with lime is alkaline, and the pH value can be maintained about 8 after fermentation, so it is difficult for miscellaneous bacteria to grow, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling miscellaneous bacteria. In addition, because the lime contains a lot of calcium, the mycelium is strong and white after use. at the same time, it can also enhance the firmness of the fungus and increase the yield.

3. In the application of rodent control and pest control, because the mycelium has a special smell, mice like to bite very much. if lime is used on the basis of drug anti-rodent, it can get twice the result with half the effort. A layer of lime powder can be spread at the entrance and exit of the bacteria room, and the mice will stop for fear of inhaling lime.
