Causes of slow growth of Pleurotus ostreatus stick and its solution

In the cultivation of mushrooms, the stick is one of the means of inoculation, the use of different mushrooms is different, some farmers use corncobs for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus, although the hyphae appear mushroom buds, but the fruiting body grows slowly, what should we do? Let's get to know it.

1. Seed selection should be prudent

According to the adaptability of fruiting body to temperature, the cultivated varieties of Pleurotus ostreatus can be roughly divided into four types: high temperature type, medium temperature type, wide temperature type and low temperature type. if the varieties are not selected properly, there will be late or even no mushroom. Therefore, for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus, the suitable varieties should be reasonably selected according to the mushroom season and the local climate.

2. Select excellent bacteria.

The strain of Pleurotus ostreatus refers to the pure culture of the mycelium of Pleurotus ostreatus, which can be divided into mother species, original species, cultivated species and so on. There can be no mixed varieties, impure strains and miscellaneous bacteria pollution, otherwise it will lead to the occurrence of Pleurotus ostreatus and slow emergence. Therefore, farmers must choose excellent strains in production to ensure the purity of strains, so as to avoid strain pollution and some of the cultivation benefits of Pleurotus ostreatus, resulting in economic losses.

3. Mushroom production management

We should pay attention to several points when Pleurotus ostreatus comes out of mushroom. first of all, it is necessary to keep the mushroom shed ventilated smoothly. If the ventilation is not smooth, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the greenhouse is strong, and the air mobility is poor, it will lead to slow growth and poor growth of the fruiting body. The second is to regulate the temperature, according to the type of Pleurotus ostreatus varieties on the temperature requirements, adjust the temperature of the mushroom shed, as far as possible to meet the temperature needs of the fruiting body. Finally, to ensure humidity, Pleurotus ostreatus fruit body development needs a humid environment, humidity requirements of 75%-95%, humidity is not suitable will also lead to slow or abnormal fruiting body growth.

The above are the reasons for the slow growth of Pleurotus ostreatus sticks and the solutions. I hope I can help you. If you want to know more about it, please follow us.
