Compost and liquid supplements for mushroom growers
Here is the published trials for Sporekill with Trichoderma harzianum and Verticillium Fungicola (click on link)
The findings were in summary:
It is very clear from these results that Sporekill is very effective at halting germination of spores of the pathogens tested.
At concentrations at or above 0.5 %, Sporekill in these tests killed all pathogens we have tested so far.
When engulfed with Sporekill at concentrations at or above 0.5% the pathogens do not germinate.
Sporekill is very effective when fogged into clean growing rooms prior to filling them with fresh compost.
Rate is 1 Litres Sporekill in 4 Litres water for 1000m3
After fogging is complete, turn off fans and leave for 12 hours. This lets the fine fog drops slowly on every availble surface in the room.
Wash out fogger with warm water after use.
Sporekill is first a fungistat and fungicide for the safe disinfection of surfaces with the additional benefit of a soap film to trap any spores and mycelial debris landing on them after the disinfection operation….that’s BELT & BRACES!
Growers have been asking us how they can check the pH of their casing and if it not high enough what can be done about it. The following article should help in this matter.

How good is my disinfection routine1
There is a good video link further down this blog which clearly demonstates the effect on spores and dirty surfaces (Quick Simple Test for Moulds).
Concrete surfaces around your farm are a ‘haven’ for spores and mycelial debris. SporeKill has been specially designed for use all over the mushroom farms and no area is it better than on concrete floors. One of its 3 functions is to trap spores and debris.
The diagram below shows a vertical cross section through a concrete surface and demonstrates clearly how spores and debris fall into the gaps ready to come out when you dont want them. Sporekill has a unique sealing action that traps the debris in the holes and across the surface forming an impervious film.
TRAPPED SPORES OR DEBRIS ARE SAFE BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GERMINATE.
