Every mushroom problem on your farm starts in the compost yard.
Long necks, open veils, dirty caps, weak second flushes — growers usually fight them in the growing room. Most of them were decided weeks earlier, in Phase I and Phase II.
That is why UMDIS is bringing Omar Haqqi to India for five days of intensive theoretical and practical training:
Day 1 — raw material physiology, substrate formulation, C:N calculations, Phase 0 pre-wetting
Day 2 — fermentation, pasteurisation, ammonia management, Phase I–II control
Day 3 — spawning hygiene, incubation, casing soil for Indian materials, pH, ruffling
Day 4 — watering, fruiting induction, humidity during pinheading, flush density
Day 5 — harvesting physiology, cluster thinning, disease prevention, inter-flush management
Omar has worked with mushroom farms and compost facilities across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, launched 5 farms and supports 50+ clients internationally.
