How to grow Morchella? Planting technique and time of Morchella

Morchella is a kind of fungus, the market demand in our country is very big, like to grow in the environment of low temperature and high humidity. Therefore, the distribution is the most in the southwest of China, and the current market price of Morchella is very high, so the economic benefit of Morchella is still very good. So how do you get the Morchella? The following editor brings you the planting time and methods of Morchella. Let's have a look!

1. Planting time

Because Morchella likes to grow in an environment of low temperature and high humidity, it can grow normally as long as the temperature is kept in the range of 3-25 degrees, and the most suitable temperature for growth is 15-18 degrees. Therefore, the seeds are usually sown from October to December every year, and if the temperature exceeds the range of 3-25 degrees, the hyphae are very easy to die. Therefore, when planting Morchella, we must pay attention to the selection of sowing time, should be adjusted according to temperature, humidity and other factors to ensure the normal growth of Morchella.

2. Pre-planting preparation

Before planting, we should prepare suitable cultivation materials for Morchella. The preparation of cultivation materials is generally based on straw, sawdust and wheat bran, and some substances such as phosphate fertilizer and humus soil can also be added to it. After adjusting the cultivation material, add the right amount of water, ferment for about three weeks, and then put it into the plastic bag. Then put it in a high-temperature environment for sterilization, and after making these preparations, you can begin to inoculate the mycelium. The main method of inoculation is to inoculate at both ends, then cover the soil with plastic film, compact it, put it flat on the bed, and finally sprinkle water to cover the soil properly. After about a month or so, the fruiting body can grow out.

3. Management of mushroom production period

The fruiting body of Morchella can generally grow in the environment of 10-18 degrees, if beyond this range, then the growth of the fruiting body is obviously hindered, and the optimum temperature is 12-15 degrees. After the fruiting body grows, we should pay attention to control the light, which is very important for the formation of the fruiting body. Especially in the fruiting body development, light is essential, to provide the right amount of scattered light for Morchella. The intensity of scattered light is also related to the color of the fruit body, if the light is dark, then the color of Morchella will be darker, on the contrary, it will be weak. In the mushroom period, it can provide about 30% light for Morchella.

4. Ventilation moisture

During the growth of the fruiting body of Herba Euphorbiae, we should pay attention to control the water content of the soil and keep it at about 60%. Appropriate water content can ensure the normal growth of Morchella, the whole mushroom shed to maintain a moist environment, it is best to keep the humidity at about 88%. Then we have to do a good job of ventilation, because Morchella is a kind of good gas fungus, so we should keep enough oxygen in the mushroom shed. The shade net should be properly opened every morning and evening, properly ventilated and maintained air quality.

The above is a brief introduction of the planting time and method of Morchella. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. Thank you for your reading and support.
