To whom it may concern:
"I am an agricultural engineer interested in mushroom culturing and growing, I have read many articles and books on the subject and so developed a broad idea on mushroom culture. I am willing to construct a large business in my country Lebanon that deals in all what is concerned and related to mushroom business, i.e. construction of mushroom farms; supply of spawn, substrate, machinery, herbicides, consultancy and so on. Know I am in charge of supervising a mushroom house in Lebanon, and I am facing a problem in controlling sciarid flies, I used diclorvos at a rate of 500gm/1000m2 and took no result. We have available the following pesticides: deflubenzuron 25% w/w; cypermethrin 25% w/v, please if you can submit me with any information concerning the rate of use of any of the mentioned pesticides that may help in solving this problem please help me. Thank you." Respond to Khaled Sleem Email ks@aub.edu.lb
