1. Choose superior strain: it is suggested that farmers could directly introduce mother strain and propagate from normalized unit.
2. Use scientific formula: the fruiting time of Agrocybe cylindracea will be late when the nitrogen content is high and the pollution rate is high. Two formulas are recommended as follows:
A. Sawdust 36%, cottonseed hull 36%, bran 20%, corncob powder 5%, tea seed cake 1%, light calcium carbonate 1%, sugar 1%, PH Value should be between 7 and 7.5.
B. Cottonseed hull 87%, bran 10%, lime 2%, sugar 1%, the water content should be in between 56% and 60%, PH Value should be between 7 and 7.5.
3. Increase the rate of bag making and finished products. Firstly, compost should be fresh and free from mould. Sawdust should be processed by after-ripening and sieving, the water content of compost should be moderate. Secondly, people could pre-wet cottonseed hull and sawdust one day in advance, add lime to build heap and ferment, then add bran, mix material, conduct bagging and the time of this procedure should be in less than 5 hours. Thirdly, people could put fungus sacks into atmospheric pressure steam sterilizer and put 2500 to 3000 fungus sacks in each steam sterilizer. What’s more, people should try to rise the temperature to 100 degrees as quickly as possible, then keep for 16 to 18 hours and sterilize thoroughly. Fourthly, Agrocybe cylindracea is sensitive to light and temperature, the cultivation of strain should be conducted under the condition of relative constant temperature and dark light, keep the temperature in between 22 to 26 degrees. Cultivating room should be checked in every 10 days and infected strains should be removed timely. Fifthly, after sterilization, people could cool the temperature of material below 30 degrees, put into inoculation box and try to avoid broken fungi sacks.
4. Arrange the suitable season to make fungus sack reasonably: the spawns of Agrocybe cylindracea can grow in between 5 and 35 degrees, the suitable temperature of differentiation on sporocarps is from 22 to 26 degrees. Sporocarps will be slow in growth and change of flush, short in stipes and low in yield. When the temperature is above 28 degrees, sporocarps will be quick in growth and easy to open caps.
5. Pay adequate attention on comprehensive control of pests and disease: adopt physical control and biological control, chemical control should be avoided during the fruiting period of Agrocybe cylindracea. People should focus on environmental health, dispose wasted fungus sacks timely, sterilize inside and outside mushroom greenhouse and moisturize by using pure water. People could also install fly net and set up black light lamp to control pests.
