Mushroom Integrated Pest Management [Hand Book]

---

In this handbook we have addressed the most important pest organisms with the potential to reduce mushroom yield and quality. The handbook is intended for growers, as well as researchers, as both an educational tool and a reference manual. Recommendations presented here are not intended to bind growers in their decision-making processes. Rather, they should serve as a guide for developing effective Integrated Pest Management
(IPM) programs. Each grower should develop specific operating procedures and checklists specifically tailored for individual use. In addition, as technology is always changing, this handbook will be updated periodically.

The handbook is divided into two parts, covering the theory of IPM and the practical aspects of IPM in mushroom growing. The theory section defines IPM and gives it historical perspective. It also explains the concepts of pest management and types of control, and the importance of understanding pest life cycles and biology. The section on IPM in mushroom growing describes how unique features of mushroom crops can be used effectively in IPM, and how the theory of IPM can be applied effectively.

Mushroom growing lends itself naturally to IPM. It is one of the few forms of agriculture in which the crop is grown inside climate-controlled buildings. This offers two advantages not available to most other crops. First, control of the internal environment of the growing room provides an important weapon against many pests. Temperature and humidity manipulations, for instance, are two of many cultural options available in mushroom pest control with IPM. Second, since the crop is grown indoors, pests can be excluded. This control measure is unavailable to farmers of field crops, who have little control over pest invasion. An effective IPM program takes advantage of these particular characteristics of mushroom growing.
