Pest & Disease Fact Sheets

The levy funded project MU16003 Pest and Disease Management and Research Services produces and distributes a range of materials on mushroom peat and disease management. The following Fact Sheets provide informative summaries of diseases, disorders and advances in research to assist growers and farm staff with on-farm management.  The Fact Sheets are designed to be downloaded and printed as an effective grower resource.

As each fact Sheet is published an email alert is issued to provide immediate access. To be placed on the email list please contact Judy Allan:
