How to choose a good strain
First, look at the market and choose varieties.
The prices of edible fungi are different in different regions, seasons and years. Mushroom farmers should not stick to the rules in seed selection, but should improvise from the following aspects.
1. Choose varieties with good prices.
Such as "2796" in mushrooms, "New Century" in Pleurotus ostreatus P54, Pleurotus ostreatus, Volvariella volvacea V23, V35 and other varieties, which are usually in short supply and have good prices, can win by price, and are especially suitable for suburban development.
2. Select high-yield and high-quality varieties,
Win by quality and output. These varieties can still obtain high economic benefits at the peak of listing, and are more suitable for developing large edible fungi bases exported abroad.
3. Select new fine varieties. "Rare things are precious", and some rare and new superior varieties such as Pleurotus eryngii, Agrocybe aegerita, Pleurotus nebrodensis, hypsizygus marmoreus and Wei Xiang mushrooms can be produced on a large scale, with high prices and good economic benefits. However, we must master its characteristics and supporting cultivation techniques when choosing.
Second, choose varieties to "see three".
At present, there are still many fake and shoddy strains in the market, which makes it difficult for consumers to distinguish between true and false and easy to be deceived. Therefore, it is necessary to make a good choice of excellent strains: 1, depending on the unit.
It is necessary to choose units with high credibility, strong economic strength and strong technical strength to buy seeds. You can't simply pursue cheap prices, otherwise you will be easily fooled and cause unnecessary economic losses because of small losses.
2. Look at the brand.
Choose brands that you are familiar with, and don't blindly believe advertisements, such as 450%, 500% conversion rate, resistance to various bacteria, success rate 100%, etc. These are all deliberate hype and unbelievable.
3. Look at these strains.
Strains have certain appearance characteristics, and many strains can judge their quality and freshness from their appearance. Seed buyers should learn to observe the characteristics of strains and be good at distinguishing good strains from old ones.
Third, I am willing to spend money to buy improved varieties.
Edible fungi is a kind of planting industry with great economic benefits. For example, the output value of 5 tons of cultivation materials can be as high as 10 thousand yuan, as low as several hundred thousand yuan, and some even lose money. If you are willing to invest and buy excellent strains, you can actually ensure high yield and high quality, reduce investment risks to a certain extent, and make big profits with small money.
