How to prevent and sterilize traditional bean sprouts production

The most common diseases in traditional bean sprout cultivation are red roots and rot. The prevention and control measures must first of all be conducted in order to achieve good sanitation. Secondly, we must strictly select seeds and remove seeds that are pod-grained, broken-grained, moldy, or have sprouted. Because non-viable seeds can easily rot and become a source of infection. The third step is to disinfect the seeds and germination containers. The soaked seeds shall be soaked in 0.1% bleach solution, stirred for 10 minutes or soaked in 3% lime water (without dregs) and stirred for 5 minutes. Remove the seeds and rinse with clean water. Germination containers and other production equipment can be soaked in lime for 1 hour and then rinsed with water. The cover can be boiled in boiling water or exposed to sunlight. The fourth is to ensure that the spray water is clean. Generally, do not use ponds or rivers as water sources. In addition, when severe rotting buds occur continuously, complete and thorough disinfection must be carried out on the production site, fumigation with sulphur powder, etc., close the room, and open doors or windows or vents for ventilation after 12 hours. Disinfection is required to stop production or temporarily move buds to other locations.
