Guide to efficient sheep belly cultivation in 2024: 15 per cent increase in the acre production + lessons learned from old farmers
It's been almost a decade since we planted the fungus, and it's best to know that the gold in the fungus is not good enough by force alone -- it has to be technical, it's more earthly, it's more fungus. First of all, sheep’s belly is good: 18. 3 grams of protein and 11. 9 grams of amino acid per 100 grams, but only 2. 6 grams of fat (data from the ministry of agriculture and rural, green production technical guide to vegetables, 2024, p48), whether it's food supplementation for a child, high-protein feeding for a gymnasium or feeding for a vegetarian friend. I'll tell you all about the planting methods we've done today。
I. Standardized planting of sheep’s abdominal fungus (inoculation of mushrooms with seedlings)
Set the conditions for planting - it's no good
The fungus is different from normal mushrooms, and it's very selective. Soils are neutral or micro-alkaline and ph values must be maintained at 6. 5-7. 5, with the best of fertile black soil species, and water protection and air penetration (data from the manual for the cultivation of home-based bacillus cultivation p51). The temperature must be around 20°c and the humidity must be maintained at 70% - our old farmers have an earthic method of judging the humidity, which is just as it happens when they touch the soil with no sticky hands and are able to squeeze in groups。
In addition, the oxygen is high and the mycelium is boring; the light needs to be observed, the sun cannot be strong and the light is thin. The spring and autumn seasons are boom seasons, at which time mushrooms can be 15 per cent higher than winter and summer (data on old farming practices)。
Plantation formulations need to be precise - a little more or less affects mycelium
Plant the sheep's belly, it's well prepared, and it's so hot. We've been using this formula: 75% wood crumb, 20% gill, 1% phosphorus, 1% plaster, 3% decomposed soil, and 1% of the wealth-rich mushrooms. Ecobes (data from technical instructions 2024 on bacteria cultivation)。
In this ratio, there are two advantages: a 20 per cent increase in the incidence of mycelosis compared to the casually associated rate, and an increase in the strength of the late-stage entity. Remember when mixing, the ratio of water to material is 1:1. 3, not too wet and not too dry - too wet to grow fungus, too dry to suck water。
Clinker debauchery - sterilization and vaccination are key
This step cannot be avoided, otherwise the previous effort will be wasted。
1. First, a bag of mixed planting materials with a special polypropylene plastic bag containing approximately 500 grams per bag, which is too full to be fully sterile。
2. Placing packed material bags in a fungicide pot for 8-10 hours at high temperatures of 100°c must ensure that each bag is heated evenly (data from the technical manual for the production of green edible bacillus)。
The fungus bag cools to below 25°c and is vaccinated against the filament - with a two-headed inoculation and a bit of a fungi, so that the filament grows fast。
When the vaccination is completed, the bag is sealed and placed in a culture room of 22-25°c, where ventilation is maintained, and the mycelium can grow full of it for about 30 days (old farming experience: a thermometer is placed in the culture room twice a day, with a temperature difference of more than 3°c)。
Cultivation sub-entity — management of sheds
We'll have to move it to the shed with a bag full of silk
1. Sterilize the sheds, spray the ground with raw lime water, and then dry up a plastic film to prevent the fungus in the soil from coming up。
The membrane is covered with three to five centimetres of corroded soil, which must be sifted and laid evenly and lightly flat (data from the facility episode cultivation guidelines p47)。
Tore the plastic bag of the bacterium and toss it on the bed with a density of 40 per square metre, which is too dense to eat and waste。
Following this, water is sprayed with three to five centimetres of soil, with a final layer of leaves that preserves moisture and slowly decomposition as nutrients。
5. The sub-entity grew after a daily spraying of small water, keeping the soil moist, for a month or so (we planted it last year, in the first 28 days)。
Ii. Highlights of the five pits + pest control as summarized by the old farmers
Light-free — dispersing light is a “groom agent”
The importance of light, we know everything. Not only does the fungus grow in the direction of light, but the intensity of light also determines the colour of the cover. During the growth phase of the sub-entity, moderate dispersing light must be given, e. G. A sunnet on the shed, with a perusal rate of about 30 per cent (data from the technical instructions for the management of ingestion of bacillus lights p22). If the light is too strong, the bacterium lid is yellow; it is too weak and the sub-entity is thin。
Oxygen is not missing - co2 is bad for mushrooms
It's the fungus. It's what we've been through. Carbon dioxide concentrations in large sheds exceed 0. 5 per cent, which slows the growth of myceloids and causes serious malformations and decay (data from the guidelines for the control of the eating environment p31). So if it's hot and cold, if it's ventilation every day, if it's cold, it's one hour. - take it easy, don't blow it, or you'll blow the mushrooms to death。
Weeds should never be pulled — weeds are the same as mybs
It's an easy mistake for many newcomers to think that weeds are nutrients, and that sheep's belly and weed are “good friends”. Weeds help hide the shade and keep the soil loose and contribute to the growth of mycelium (old farmer's experience: a new hand pulled the grass last year, resulting in half-breathing and a final 40 per cent reduction). As long as weeds are not particularly dense, we don't need them, but we'll get the mushrooms。
Acquiring maturity - both early and late
Sheep bellies aren't grown up together, one by one. When? See the bacterium cap: when the baptism cap is fully spread, the surface “sheep bellyline” is clearly visible, and when the diameter reaches 5-8 cm, it is the optimal harvest period (an old farmer's judgement criterion). It's early, it's not long enough and it's light; it's late, it's umbrella, it's bad, it doesn't sell. Take it light, hold it up with your hand on the bottom of the bacterium handle, and don't hurt the immature mushrooms next to it。
Pest and pest control — green approaches are the most effective
We grow green bacteria, not chemical pesticides, and we use soil to prevent pests and diseases:
- microbacterial control: a common occurrence of green mold and quagmire, when discovered, is the digging out of the sick soil, which is covered by grass-grain ash, which uses 50 kilograms per acre and inhibits the spread of the fungus (data from the manual for the control of pests and pests of green pests)。
- pest control: mainly leaching, with a sticky plate of 10 centimetres in the bacterial bed, and two blocks per square metre, can lead to the killing of a large proportion of the vermin; if there is a vermin, some corn paste will be spilled at night and the next morning will be cleaned up。
Iii. Purpose technology - 7 days of own business
It's important to get the sheep belly. The first one hour of drying in the shade, the water on the surface is dryed slightly, then the bags are packed with air-scraping bags, the bags are sealed too tight, and the refrigerators at 0-2°c are refrigerated for about seven days (data are from the agricultural production technical code, p42). If you want to stay longer, you can dry it, dry it and then put it in a sealed can, in a cool and dry place, for six months。
The real case of a farmer: 2 acre of sheep's fungus from uncle li
In 2023, our neighboring village, mr. Lee, planted two acres of sheep's belly, initially inexperienced, making two mistakes: one was only boiled for six hours, with a lot of green mold; and the other was slow-growing because the fungus was not ventilated. Then it changed as we said: 10 hours were mentioned for sterilization, 1 hour for ventilation every morning at 9 a. M., and another hour for anti-breeding grass-grain。
At the time of the final harvest, the acre production reached 80 kg, 25 kg more than in the first year. Last year, the market price of the sheep belly was $150/kg, and this alone earned an extra $3750. Mr. Lee now used to say, "spring a sheep's belly, technology, experience, nothing to lose."
