PRODUCTS - Casing Inoculum
Casing Inoculum consists of a sterilised carrier substrate
inoculated and colonised with a pure culture of mushroom mycelium. The
additional points of inoculum in the CI enhance the development of the
mushroom's root system by assisting with the colonization of the casing
layer. Casing Inoculum is incorporated into the casing layer to give the
grower a safe, consistent alternative to the traditional compost-based
casing additive.
Advantages:
- More uniform pinning and even spread of mushrooms.
- Improves quality and picking rates by reducing the risk
of clumping.
- Reduces casing to cropping time.
- Allows for more accurate crop timing.
- Eliminates the disease risk associated with the use of
compost CAC.
As with spawn, CI undergoes a very rigorous pre-testing
program before it is delivered to customers. CI can reduce the crop
growing cycle by as much as 4 - 6 days, depending on the schedule. |
