Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a use of mushroom dregs, in particular to the use of mushroom dregs as a mosquito repellent. Background Art

[0002] Mosquitoes are widely distributed around the world. Insects of the family Culicidae are vectors of malaria, filariasis, yellow fever, chikungunya, dengue fever, epidemic encephalitis B, and various equine myeloencephalitis. For example, Culex pipiens can spread epidemic encephalitis B, and Anopheles sinensis is an important vector of malaria.

[0003] Female mosquitoes suck blood from humans, other mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and other animals. In most parts of the world, mosquitoes are a serious public health problem. Mosquitoes suck the blood of farmed animals, such as in cattle farms, where mosquitoes bite the skin of cattle. If there are a large number of mosquitoes, it will cause anemia in animals, especially young animals, which are weaker and will be more severely anemic after being bitten by a large number of mosquitoes. For example, piglets may have pale skin and slow growth after being bitten by a large number of mosquitoes.

[0004] Mosquitoes will crawl and rest on the fruiting bodies of mushrooms, which may cause damage to the surface of the mushrooms. The tissues of mushrooms are relatively fragile, and the activities of mosquitoes may cause scratches and damage to the caps and gills, thus affecting the appearance quality of the mushrooms. For example, if Agaricus bisporus is frequently touched by mosquitoes during its growth, dents may appear on the surface of its cap, reducing its commercial value.

[0005] At present, the main ingredients of mosquito repellents used in farms and plantations are divided into two categories: chemical preparations and plant extracts. Chemical preparations are toxic and pose safety risks; while plant extracts have higher biological safety, but the cost is too high. Summary of the invention

The composting fermentation environment temperature is 15-20°C. Among them, the high-temperature composting temperature is 60-65°C, and the high temperature lasts for 7-8 days.

[0030] The magnified observation picture of the oyster mushroom husk composting fermentation for 20 days in this example is as follows Figure 1 As shown, a large number of mold spores can be observed. The mold spores produced on the surface of the edible fungus husk of the present example were collected for identification, and the main (more than 98.4%) were dark green Trichoderma spores and Aspergillus niger spores.

[0031] Example 3

[0032] In this embodiment, mosquito repellent I is prepared from oyster mushroom husk: the oyster mushroom husk is unbagged, the husk is broken and scattered after the bag is separated, and Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma viride are inoculated; then the moisture content is adjusted to 65% to 70%, and the pH value is adjusted to 5.5, the compost is fermented for 25 days, and then the compost is turned and dried at low temperature until the moisture content is reduced to 12%, so as to obtain the mosquito repellent.

[0033] In this embodiment, the main component of the oyster mushroom husk is corn cob, the low temperature drying temperature is 60°C, the inoculation amount of Aspergillus niger is 30-50 / g husk, and the inoculation amount of Trichoderma viride is 20-30 / g husk. The composting fermentation environment temperature is 15-20°C. Among them, the high temperature composting temperature is 60-65°C, and the high temperature lasts for 8-10 days.

[0034] A large number of mold spores can also be observed in the 25-day compost fermentation of the oyster mushroom husk in this example, which is similar to that in Example 1. The mold spores produced on the surface of the oyster mushroom husk in this example were collected for identification, and the main (more than 98.7%) were dark green Trichoderma spores and Aspergillus niger spores.

[0035] Trial and Test:

[0036] The mosquito repellents obtained in Example 2 and Example 3 were subjected to toxicology experiments (evaluating the toxicity and pathogenicity of the strains through animal experiments) and pathogenicity tests (evaluating whether the samples carry or produce pathogens to avoid harm during use).

[0037] Toxicology experiments: In acute tests, oral poisoning is usually done by gavage, which provides accurate dosage.

[0038] Mice (healthy mice weighing 18-25g): When gavage, press the needle on the syringe and inhale the mixture mixed with mosquito repellent. Grasp the skin on the back and neck of the mouse with your left hand to fix the animal, hold the syringe with your right hand, insert the gavage needle into the animal's mouth, and slowly insert it into the esophagus along the posterior wall of the pharynx. There should be no resistance when the needle is inserted. If you feel resistance or the animal struggles, stop inserting the needle or pull it out immediately to avoid damaging or puncturing the esophagus or accidentally entering the esophagus. The gavage volume for mice is usually 0.2-1ml, and the median lethal dose (LD50) is calculated. 50 ).

[0039] Pathogenicity detection: The mosquito repellent samples of Example 2 and Example 3 were obtained in strict accordance with the operating procedures, and pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria were isolated and cultured, the distribution of pathogens in the samples was detected, and bacterial resistance was determined.

[0040] The results of toxicology experiments and pathogenicity tests are shown in Table 1.

[0041] After the mycelium of Pleurotus ostreatus grows, the remaining mycelium of Pleurotus ostreatus and the inoculated Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma mellifera undergo re-fermentation together to produce a series of acids and ethers. These acids and ethers have special smells and chemical properties, which can interfere with the sensory system of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes mainly rely on their keen sense of smell and other sensory organs to find hosts, suitable breeding environments and food sources. The smells emitted by the acids and ethers produced by the method of the present invention will interfere with mosquitoes, making it difficult for them to recognize the odor signals that originally attracted them, and also prompting mosquitoes to escape.

[0042] Due to the long-term low-temperature drying, the molds (including dark green Trichoderma and Aspergillus niger) are killed; and some biochemical reactions are produced in the process, which promotes the decomposition of its harmful substances.

[0043] Table 1

[0044] Example 2 Example 3 <![CDATA[LD 50 ]]> 23.7mg / kg 22.4mg / kg Pathogenicity testing No pathogens were detected No pathogens were detected

[0045] According to the test data in Table 1, it can be seen that the mosquito repellent of the present invention has excellent biological safety and is harmless to humans, animals and the environment.

[0046] Mosquito repellent test:

[0047] The mosquito repellent of Example 2 was piled up in ponds, meadows, pig houses, and cowsheds for 7 minutes. Each group of mosquito repellent was divided into 6 piles, each weighing 1kg. The 6 piles were equidistantly arranged in a circle with a circular diameter of 2 meters. A portable fully automatic mosquito sampler (or mosquito density monitor) was placed at the center of the circle. Under the same environment, a portable fully automatic mosquito sampler was also set up 30 meters away as a control group. The test data statistical time was 1 day, 5 days, 20 days, and 30 days, respectively. During the test, the number of rainy days was 4 days. The sampler was changed every day, and the number of mosquitoes captured was superimposed. The statistical results of the number of captured mosquitoes are shown in Table 2.

[0050] The mosquito repellent of Example 3 was piled up in ponds, meadows, pig houses, and cowsheds for 8 minutes. Each group of mosquito repellent was divided into 6 piles, each weighing 1 kg. The 6 piles were equidistantly arranged in a circle with a diameter of 2 meters. A portable fully automatic mosquito sampler (or mosquito density monitor) was placed at the center of the circle. Under the same environment, a portable fully automatic mosquito sampler was also set up 30 meters away as a control group. The test data statistical time was 1 day, 5 days, 20 days, and 30 days, respectively. During the test, the number of rainy days was 7 days. The sampler was replaced every day, and the number of mosquitoes captured was superimposed. The statistical results of the number of captured mosquitoes are shown in Table 3.

[0053] According to the test results, the mosquito repellent effect of the mosquito repellent of the present invention on the first day of placement is only more than 50%; as the placement time increases (5 to 20 days), the mosquito repellent effect of the mosquito repellent I of the present invention is improved, and the mosquito repellent rate reaches about 70%; but when the placement time is too long (30 days), the mosquito repellent effect of the mosquito repellent I of the present invention decreases slightly, but still has an obvious mosquito repellent effect. It can be seen that the mosquito repellent I of the present invention can effectively repel mosquitoes for a long time, is suitable for the wild, rural areas, near rivers and ponds, and has a wide range of applications.

[0054] The rainfall did not affect the mosquito repellent effect of the insect repellent.

[0055] The analysis shows that the fungus bran components effectively adsorb the acids and ethers produced by the method of the present invention, thereby achieving the protection and sustained release of the acids and ethers.

[0056] Example 4

[0057] In this embodiment, mosquito repellent II is prepared from oyster mushroom husk: the main component of the mosquito repellent is prepared according to the following steps: the oyster mushroom husk is unbagged, the husk is broken up after the bag is separated, and inoculated with black aspergillus and dark green trichoderma; then the moisture content is adjusted to 60% to 70%, and the pH value is adjusted to 5 to 7, and the fertilizer is fermented for 20 to 25 days, and then the pile is turned and dried at low temperature until the moisture content is reduced to less than 15%, so as to obtain the main component of mosquito repellent II. The main component of mosquito repellent II is further crushed to a particle size of less than 200 mesh, and then mixed with sawdust powder and starch to make mosquito coils;

[0058] In this embodiment, the main component of the oyster mushroom chaff is corn cob, the low-temperature drying temperature is 60°C, the inoculation amount of Aspergillus niger is 30-50 per gram of chaff, and the inoculation amount of Trichoderma viride is 20-30 per gram of chaff. The composting fermentation environment temperature is 15-20°C. The particle size of the sawdust powder is less than 200 mesh; the mass ratio of the main component of the mosquito repellent II to the sawdust powder and starch is (7-8):1:2.

[0059] Among them, the high-temperature composting temperature is 60-65°C, and the high temperature lasts for 10 days.

[0060] In this embodiment, starch is added to a small amount of water and stirred to disperse uniformly, and then water is added, stirred and mixed to disperse uniformly, heated and stirred continuously until the starch is completely gelatinized to form an adhesive, and then sawdust powder and the main ingredients of the mosquito repellent II are mixed uniformly in proportion and added to the adhesive, and stirred sufficiently to obtain a viscous paste. Finally, the viscous paste prepared above is injected into a mold for pressure molding or poured into a mold frame to form a sheet, and then cut to obtain a molded mosquito repellent II.

[0061] The mosquito repellent II prepared by the present invention does not contain any substance harmful to the human body, and no substance harmful to the human body is generated except for ultrafine particles-smoke during combustion and use. The flame and smoke are slightly larger than those of existing mosquito coils, and the combustion speed is slightly faster.

[0062] Comparative mosquito repellent test:

[0063] Select two rooms with the same area of ​​20 square meters and the same height, and make sure the rooms are airtight to maintain relatively stable environmental conditions. Clean the rooms and ensure that there are no other mosquito control products or interferences that may affect the test results. Select female adult mosquitoes of sensitive strains, such as Culex pipiens pallens or Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus, and ensure that the mosquitoes are healthy and active.

[0064] Test environment setting: The temperature of the two test rooms was adjusted to 26±1°C and the humidity was adjusted to 60% to 80%.

[0065] Mosquito release: In two test rooms, use an insect sucker or other suitable tools to evenly release 50 mosquitoes in each room.

[0066] Lighting up the mosquito coil: Place the commercially available mosquito coil and the mosquito repellent II prepared in this example at the specified positions in the respective rooms (such as on a bracket in the center of the room), and light them up.

[0067] Observation records: Record the knockdown and death numbers of mosquitoes 1 hour after the mosquito coils finish burning.

[0068] The criteria for judging whether a mosquito has been knocked down are: the mosquito is lying on its side or back and cannot fly or crawl normally.

[0069] Statistics:

[0070] Calculate the knockdown rate = (number of mosquitoes knocked down / total number of mosquitoes released) × 100%

[0071] Calculate the mortality rate = (number of dead mosquitoes / total number of released mosquitoes) × 100%.

[0072] Each group of comparative tests was carried out 3 times, and the experimental results are shown in Table 4.

[0073] Table 4

[0074]

[0075] The experimental results show that the mosquito repellent II prepared in this example has substantially the same effect as commercially available mosquito coils.
