is a multi-purpose insecticide for Mushroom Houses used to control Fungus Gnats and Mushroom Flies on Surfaces and on Mushroom Bed Soil Casing
Used to control mushroom fly pressure. Controls the adult stages of flies and gnats. Can be used within individual rooms on a farm including but not limited to Agaricus, Shiitake, Oyster and other exotic mushrooms.
Particularly useful during the times when adults are most likely present (empty houses and premises, filing, growth-pinning and picking times). MyCoNet® can be applied to walls, floors, ceilings daily depending on fly pressure. Can also be used on the exterior of the building and in the “breezeways” as a crack and crevice treatment.
MyCoNet® is expected to be useful in controlling mushroom flies and fungus gnats of most cultivated mushrooms.
Field trials have only been conducted on White Button Mushrooms.

The major insect pest for mushrooms is the Scarid Fly. Second most common pest is the Phorid Fly. Both can cause damage to the crop as well as be a major nuisance to workers and neighbors.

"The thing I liked about MyCoNet® the most is when we applied it our fly numbers were down the next day. Applying twice at spawn run also helps us keep moisture in the air."

"MyCoNet® is easy to use, either as a drench on top of the plastic or at casing. I believe it is effective on the phorid flies."
