In spring, the temperature recovers speedily while it remains unstable condition, according to the characteristics, you could pay attention to the weather variations and adjust the measures of cultivation management at any moment, the followings are 5 crucial points needing attentions.
1. Temperature management: In sunny days or under high-temperature, in order to retain the partial-low temperature of greenhouse and harvest superior mushrooms, you could lower the temperature and preserve moisture. The specific measure is to cover straw matting whenever the sunlight is glare. In the morning or night, roll up the raw matting, spray water on the ground of greenhouse to lower the temperature. When the greenhouse encounters rainy weather, be sure to preserve heat.
2. Humidity management: After mushrooms fruit for 2-3 flushes throughout autumn and winter, the water content in fungus stick has been eaten up, hence you should timely moisturize on mushroom sticks. After spawns absorb moisture, the fungus sticks recover growth, they release heat so the temperature of sticks goes up, accordingly, the temperature of greenhouse hikes, hence you should adopt cooling measures to retain low temperature of greenhouse and eliminate any possibilities of sundry fungi contamination. Besides, the temperature of greenhouse could be adjusted through water-spraying. In sunny day or under high temperature of greenhouse, you could spray more water to lower the temperature and retain moisture, meanwhile, be sure to avoid spraying water on mushroom bodies, after the water-spraying, ventilation should be well enhanced to retain it at 85%.
3. Ventilation management: After picking three flushes of mushroom, you could conduct the ventilation in accordance with actual weather and water-spraying condition.
4. Illumination management: In sunny days, be sure to cover the mulch on top of greenhouse so as to eliminate bright light illumination and retain certain scattered light.
5. Diseases and pests control: Along with the hike of temperature, pests emerge in large quantities, hence you should adopt preventive measures in time. It is valid to get rid of the external weeds, garbage and waste sticks, spray pesticides in greenhouse and the surrounding area from time to time. In addition, you could also install Nylon window screens on every vents and doors. When you find pests, it is advisable to apply high-efficient and low-toxic pesticides on fungus sacks and it is extremely critical not to spray it on sporocarps.
