TIPS - Kulat Hijau Dan Kulat Oren

Seperti yg dijanjikan dlm blog sebelum ni, ingin kami share kan serba sedikit tips yg diberikan oleh Pn Normah.
1) Kulat Hijau
Menurut beliau kejadian kulat hijau selepas bungkah matang adalah besar kemungkinannya dtg dr bari-bari. Dia ni jadi mcm agent pengangkutan kepada kulat hijau ni.
So berikut adalah langkah langkah yg harus diambil bagi mengatasi masaalah bari bari ni.
1. Keluarkan semua bungkah yg dah dijangkiti kulat hijau.
2. Tinggalkan beberapa bungkah cendawan yg terakhir dr rak yg telahpun dikutip hasilnya. Ensure semua tutup rehat dahpun dipasang kecuali beberapa rumpun cendawan. Menurut beliau kebanyakkan bari bari ni akan lepak kat cendawan yg masih tertinggal tu & mostly bari bari tu sedang dlm process pembiakan.
3. Sembur je rumpun cendawan tu dgn racun perosak mcm fumakilla, mortien, sheiltok dll
4. sebelum tutup rehat dibuka utk penghasilan round seterusnya, bungkah yg disembur dgn racuk perosak td hendaklah dibasuh dgn air.
2) Kulat oren
Pehh mmg hebat Pn Normah ni ... dia blh bau je spora kulat oren ni .... alah tegah kerana biasalah katakan.
So menurut belaiu jangkitan kulat oren ni selalunya berlaku dlm 2 minggu pertama selepas benih disuntik.
Cara utk menyelesaikkanya adalah mencucui kawasan yg terkena kulat oren dgn ubat pembasmi kuman i.e. clorox, klorin, detol dll .. pilihlah mana yg sesuai.
Sebelum hasil pertama .... semua bungkah yg dah dirawat dgn klorin, dettol dll tadi haruslah dibasuh dahulu bungkah tersebut.
Bukan basuh one by one ... memadai dgn spray dikawasan yg terkena bahan kawalan.
So berhati hati dgn angin yg senantiasa membawa spora kulat oren ini.

Nearly completed Grande Farm's Office







Not fully completed yet....

Painting the Wall : Grande Farm's Office






Hahaha... everyone is busy painting the wall....

More people behind the scene






Materials to be installed to bring the temperature down



Temperature inside the Grande Farm's Mushroom House



27 degree celsius ! That is the temperature in the afternoon. This is quite acceptable but we aim to reduce the reading to maybe to 25 degree celsius...

And how do we do that... hmmm... Look at the materials purchased above.

A 3-doors chiller for Grande Farm Enterprise



A 3-doors chiller placed inside the house itself. This will be used to store the packed mushrooms ready for delivery to major hypermarkets in Sabah.

Subsidied items from Jabatan Pertanian Sabah






The above all are subsidied by MOA, Sabah.

Thank you.

Getting tips from the expert



Here is my dad getting some helpful pointers from Mr. Chong, the expert in mushroom cultivations.

We should call him to visit more often, dad!

Still can fit more bags !



We still have 3/4 unoccupied racks in the house. We have put in 6,000 bags for a start and as an experiment.

The house can fit more than 15,000 bags. There will be more coming soon !

I am already planning for another mushroom house next year !

More work to be done at the nursery !

Me going checking through the begs



I am making myself busy during my recent trip back to KK.
Have learnt a lot by having discussions with the experts back there.

I have also made some visits to other mushroom nurseries.

Grande Farm Enterprise - The people behind the project


The first view of the people assisting me in this project. My dad, my two brothers and I have two full time staff.


May all the hard work pay off very-very soon :-D.

I thank you all for the undivided contribution especially to my own family members.


My brother ( who is overseeing the company while I am not around) will be off to Japan somewhere around next year as part of the project agreement.

More pictures from Grande Farm's Nursery







These pictures are taken by the youngest member of Grande Farm, Alexander Sebastian @ Thunder. He seems to have a natural talent in photography.
Well, might as well appoint him to become the official photographer for Grande Farm Enterprise.
You go, boy !
The polybags are all arranged neatly in their racks. The racks are all made by the technical consultant of Grande Farm itself, Mr. Sebastian Sebatin. Such a genius man, who can design and create items by just reading from manuals/books.
A very precise and perfectionist man. I feel lucky to become his daughter. Lucky to become my mom's daughter too... hehehe.. combine the two genes and out their children that are less perfectionists but more energised !
We have two full time assistants at Grande Farm. Hoping and praying that we can all cooperate and form a great... a grande enterprise!
