Fengdu, Chongqing: there are ways to increase the income of farmers growing mushrooms with cow dung.

With the growing of Fengdu beef cattle industry, the treatment of cow dung has become a difficult problem restricting the development of beef cattle industry in the whole county. To this end, Fengdu County has carried out multi-exploration, looking for a good way to turn cow dung into treasure, using cow dung to produce organic fertilizer, biogas, and raising earthworms. Among them, the cultivation of Agaricus bisporus with cow dung has become a sunrise industry of cow dung treatment and recycling, which has effectively led to the increase of farmers' income.

Cow dung becomes the treasure of the development of Pleurotus ostreatus industry.

Recently, it is the peak period of Agaricus bisporus. At the purchase point of Luojiaqiao Village, Rensha Town, the author saw that many mushroom agricultural tricycles, pick-up trucks, trucks and other means of transport transported home-grown Agaricus bisporus here, ready for sale.

"my family grows 10 mu of Pleurotus ostreatus, and it grows very fast. If it is not harvested one day, many bisporous mushrooms will 'open umbrellas', resulting in a decline in quality and a serious impact on prices. Since the middle of October last year, coming here to sell double-spore mushrooms is a 'required course' for me every day. Although I am a little tired, I earn money every day, and I feel at ease. " Chen Zuowei, a big grower of Pleurotus ostreatus in Chunhuashan Village, Xinglong Town, Fengdu County, said.

"it turns out that cow dung has this use, which can quickly promote the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus and broaden our way to increase income and become rich. We used to hate cow dung very much, because it not only smells bad, but also pollutes the environment. " Lan Xiaohong, a villager from Sanxianhu Village, Dongjia Town, Fengdu County, who is waiting for the sale of mushrooms, said that she began to grow mushrooms with the strong support of Chongqing Xunye Edible Mushroom planting and Development Co., Ltd. It is precisely because of the benefits that we have increased investment this year, investing nearly 200000 yuan, and planting double-spore mushrooms on 30 mu of transferred land. so far, more than 20, 000 jin of double-spore mushrooms have been harvested and sold for about 60, 000 yuan. This season, Pleurotus ostreatus can be harvested for more than 4 months, and the income is expected to be 240000 yuan.

Pleurotus ostreatus has become a good helper for poor families to shake off poverty and become rich.

"with the strong support of the Rensha town government and the village team, I have also planted 0.6 mu of Pleurotus ostreatus this year. In order to help me get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible, the government not only provides free film and base materials, but also often arranges technicians to go to the fields for personal guidance. " Dai Yongchang, a villager who is selling Pleurotus ostreatus, said that after the mushroom reached its peak, it had already sold more than 3000 yuan, and by planting it alone, he could get rid of poverty.

Dai Yongchang is a poor family in Hangjiaping Village, Rensha Town, Fengdu County. he is old and frail. His two daughters have been married, and one son is in college. His and his wife's income from farming at home is the main source of income for the family. Because growing Pleurotus ostreatus does not need too much labor, it has become a good industry for the old and frail people to shake off poverty and become rich.

According to the person in charge of Rensha Town, this year, the town relies on the advantages of Agaricus bisporus industry to encourage poor families to grow Agaricus bisporus. For poor families who are willing to grow Agaricus bisporus, the town provides free film, base materials and other materials, and organizes staff to provide technical guidance.

It is understood that Rensha Town raised 1.1 million yuan this year to help 435 poor households develop 234 mu of Agaricus bisporus, with an output value of 15000 yuan per mu, and the income of poor households participating in the cultivation of Agaricus bisporus increased by more than 8000 yuan.

According to the staff of the acquisition site, they have acquired more than 200,000 jin of Pleurotus ostreatus since mid-November.

"according to the quality of Pleurotus ostreatus, we divide it into first-class mushroom, second-grade mushroom, third-grade mushroom, first-grade mushroom 3 yuan / jin, second-grade mushroom 2 yuan / jin, third-grade mushroom 1 yuan / jin." The staff told reporters that first-grade mushrooms are used for fresh sale, while second-and third-grade mushrooms can be used to make salinized mushrooms, which can enhance the added value of bisporated mushrooms.

The development of 2000 mu of Pleurotus ostreatus in the county can consume 10, 000 tons of cow dung.

With the rise of beef industry in Fengdu County, the amount of cow dung increases rapidly and accumulates continuously, which brings serious harm to the ecological environment and people's lives. Cow manure is the best organic fertilizer for growing Pleurotus ostreatus, and the development of Pleurotus ostreatus industry is a good way to deal with cow manure.

"planting Pleurotus ostreatus is an effective way to treat cow dung." Chen Shijun, technical director of Xunye Edible Mushroom planting and Development Co., Ltd., said that in the eyes of many people, cow dung is a waste and pollutant, which is very troublesome to deal with, but cow dung is very beneficial to the development of Pleurotus ostreatus, and it is a very useful organic fertilizer. moreover, the farmland after growing Pleurotus ostreatus with cow dung is particularly fertile, and high-quality vegetables and fruits can be grown without fertilization.

According to Chen Shijun, one mu of Pleurotus ostreatus can handle 5 tons of cow dung. At present, our county develops 2000 mu of Pleurotus ostreatus in Rensha, Xinglong, Gaojia, Dongjia and other villages and towns, which can effectively deal with 10, 000 tons of cow manure, which is equivalent to the annual manure production of more than 10, 000 cattle.

"although this can not fundamentally solve the problem of cow dung, I believe that the Agaricus bisporus industry will grow year by year, and the consumption capacity of cow dung will increase year by year." Chen Shijun said.
