Management of Green Mold Disease in White Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) and Its Yield Improvement

Green mold is a serious problem for farmers growing white button mushrooms, often destroying entire crops. This research tested various fungicide treatments to find the most effective ways to control the mold while keeping the mushrooms healthy and productive. The study found that certain chemicals like captan and carbendazim work best at specific concentrations, allowing farmers to get better harvests while protecting their crops.

Biocomposites Based on Mould Biomass and Waste Fibres for the Production of Agrotextiles: Technology Development, Material Characterization, and Agricultural Application

Researchers developed a new biodegradable material for agriculture made from mould mycelium and waste plant fibres. This eco-friendly crop cover can be used instead of synthetic plastic sheets that damage soil and pollute it with microplastics. The material breaks down naturally in soil within 10 days and can help seeds germinate better, offering farmers a sustainable alternative for protecting their crops.
