Brief introduction to the growth of Agaricus bisporus
The water content of Agaricus bisporus culture medium is preferably 60%, the water content of covering soil is between 16-20%, the air humidity is controlled between 60-70%, and the air relative humidity during the fruiting body growth period is controlled between 85-95%.
Agaricus bisporus has a long history of artificial cultivation and is widely distributed. The output of mushrooms in the world is the largest in the United States and the second in China. In addition, France, the Netherlands, Britain, Italy, Poland and other countries also produce on a large scale.
Growth cycle of Agaricus bisporus
The growth environment of Agaricus bisporus is preferably alkaline, which is beneficial to its growth. If the acidic environment is not conducive to the growth of mycelium and fruiting body, it is easy to produce miscellaneous bacteria.
The growth cycle of Agaricus bisporus is mostly 9 months, and it takes about 80 days from raw material fermentation to fruiting, and the fruiting time is mostly half a year. If cultivated in solar greenhouse, annual production can be realized.
Growth rate of Agaricus bisporus
If the temperature of Agaricus bisporus mycelium is controlled between 13- 18℃, the fruiting period of Agaricus bisporus can be maintained for about 6 months, which can effectively improve the yield and economic benefits of Agaricus bisporus.
In spring, it takes about 40 days to sow, cover and harvest Agaricus bisporus. Autumn mushroom also needs a lot of water and air, but it is rich in nutrition, suitable in temperature, fast in mycelium growth, high in fruiting density and concentrated in yield.
Growth cycle management of Agaricus bisporus
Agaricus bisporus in China is planted all over the country, with an annual output of over 6,543,800 tons and an annual export of about 500,000 tons. Now it is the second largest country in the world.
Temperature management: The optimum temperature for the growth of Agaricus bisporus mycelium is between 23℃ and 25℃. If the temperature is below 5℃, its growth is very slow. When the temperature is higher than 25℃, the mycelium grows fast, but it is slender and weak. When the temperature exceeds 32℃, the mycelium turns yellow and turns upside down, thus stopping growth.
Fertilization management: spraying yeast liquid to prepare dry yeast with concentration of 0.03%-0.05%. Because yeast is rich in protein and vitamin B, regular application can promote the formation of fruiting bodies, increase the number of small mushrooms, accelerate their growth, make mushrooms robust and increase their yield.
