In order to harvest a lot / reasonable, this needs to be noticed .. !!

For beginners, even for those who have been struggling in the oyster mushroom business for a long time, sometimes we don't really know whether the harvest progress in our oyster mushroom is normal / optimal.

Many also complained why kog harvest oyster mushrooms in the barnyard a little?

How do you judge whether or not the amount of mushrooms harvested in the cage is normal?

And how also to be able to detect if the amount of harvest is below the standard?

Mushroom harvest can be said to be good / reasonable / many if it meets the following indications:

1. Stability of harvest

We have written before that the number of baglogs harvested in a kumbung fluctuates between 3% to 10% of the total number of baglogs. So if we maintain 1000 baglogs, then every day the number of baglogs that emit white oyster mushrooms is 30 to 100 baglogs.

If the average weight of oyster mushrooms picked in each baglog has a weight of 100gram, the daily yield ranges from 0.1x30 = 3kg to 0.1x100 = 10kg.

The weight of one oyster mushroom stalk can reach more than 100gram

In the first month, about 35% of the harvest target = 147kg

In the second month, about 65% of the harvest target = 273kg.

So, if the harvest progress in our kumbung does not reach that number, it can be said that there is a problem that must be considered. But if the achievement is not too far, it can also be said to be reasonable. If more .. Thank God, of course ...

3. Recapitulation of total results

This total recap can only be done if it has reached 4 months of production. Here we can not do much if the number of harvests is below the target, because Baglog has passed its production period. This is certainly marked by a deflated and lightweight baglog. For some farmers there may also be up to 6 months. But for us, this short life span can make business turnover faster. The total yield of mushrooms per baglognya as discussed earlier, which ranges from approximately 30% of the weight of baglog. We have already discussed this in how many mushroom yields part 1, and how much mushroom yields part 2.

From these three indications, God willing, we can determine whether the oyster mushroom harvest in our kumbung is normal or not good. It is important to note, if indications of poor harvest have been detected in the first month, so that we can immediately determine the next steps to identify problems and make improvements immediately.

There is also a good reference to the following pattern of growth of oyster mushrooms to note also to assess whether or not the normal mushroom harvest in kumbung.

If it turns out that the harvest is not good, (less a lot) there are several reasons that NEED TO BE ATTENTION, YaiTU ...:

1. Nutrition levels / dose in baglog are not good / inappropriate.

A good dose contained in baglog is usually a content of about 15% -20% accumulated levels of corn flour and bran. Can also add a little sugar water. But in certain types of wood sometimes the addition of additives such as sugar water is not appropriate. Well ... if the dosage level is not enough, even though the mycelium grows, sometimes the number of mushrooms that are harvested is not good. Read our post about the factors that affect the quality of baglogs.

2. Poor seeds.

We have discussed this before. The point is that a strain of quality seeds must be used to produce a good harvest.

3. Pest contamination and disruption.

When in the kumbung, there can be interference from certain bacteria, caterpillar pests, small snails, etc. This happens not because the baglog is less mature in the sterilization process, but the condition of the kumbung itself is less clean. It is important to do, before filled baglog, sterile sterile using 4% formaldehyde or can also use fungicides. Clean the kumbung well, and try the environment around the kumbung also should be clean. In the sense around the kumbung if possible there should not be a landfill or the like.

4. Kumbung is exposed to a lot of gas, smoke, CO2 contamination ...

The development of mushrooms requires oxygen as a trigger for the fruit body. Excessive contamination of smoke or Co2 into the kumbung certainly can inhibit the development or formation of fruit bodies. Finally baglog failed or only slightly produced fungus. Try building the kumbung away from the location of burning trash, motorcycle repair shops, and anything that produces smoke. It's better if it's close to the trees.

5. Wrong harvest procedures and care

Care is very important, this is because harvesting mushrooms is every day. The correct way to harvest is to pull out the fungus completely by its roots, even when the saw is joined too. Incomplete extraction causes the leftover of the remaining stalk in the mouth of the baglog, this is what causes blocking the next harvest and even if it rot can cause the appearance of caterpillars, bacteria, and contaminate baglog.

Care should be done carefully every baglog

So the correct way to harvest is accompanied by always checking the cleanliness of the baglog, which will determine the yield.

6. Lack of air and light circulation

If the incubation period for the development of mycelium does not require oxygen, on the contrary during the fungus growth phase, oxygen is needed as a trigger for growth. So that the kumbung is not good air circulation will affect the yield later. This is also related to the amount of baglog that is too dense and too much in the kumbung, finally due to lack of air circulation, the resulting fungus is also not good in quantity. Good standards for making kumbung are still being sought, but some kumbung references in our previous post could be considered.

7. Lack of air humidity ...

The humidity needed to produce a good fungus ranges from 80% -90%. If air humidity is lacking, it is feared that baglog will dry up, this causes the amount of harvest to decrease, because the water content in baglog must be stable in the range of 70%, if it decreases, the fungus will also be less or even fail to grow the fungus.

8. Excessive water content in baglog

This is even a contradiction, the water content in Baglog must be just right. If it is excessive, it is feared that it will trigger contaminants which eventually baglog will fail to grow oyster mushrooms.

Maybe there are still a few more things, but indeed generally revolves around the maintenance of the baglog inside the kumbung ..

Indeed, to treat the oyster mushroom baglog, patience, accuracy, and also must be diligent in the sense of maintaining hygiene and cleanliness. Well cared for barns will potentially produce oyster mushrooms in large quantities too ..

Our experience, there is a kumbung that is optimal treatment, from the size of 6500 baglog 1.4 kg can produce as much as 3000 kg (3 tons) of mushrooms within 130 days ..

But on the contrary, there is a kumbung that is not well cared for, of the 5900 baglog the size of 1.4 kg only produces as much as 1700 kg of mushrooms.

The point is, everything goes back to us alone ... there is no business or business whose results can be optimal if it is not properly addressed
