AI Article Synopsis

  • The study examined thiamethoxam (TMX) usage in cultivation through residue and dissipation experiments in compost and casing soil.
  • A specialized QuEChERS method was developed to analyze TMX and its metabolites, revealing differing dissipation half-lives in compost (19.74 d to 28.87 d) and casing soil (33.54 d to 42.59 d).
  • TMX posed minimal dietary health risks to humans based on low risk quotient (RQ) values in fruiting bodies, with no metabolites detected when TMX was applied to compost, indicating it may be a safer option compared to casing soil.

Article Abstract

In order to acquire scientific evidence for the application of thiamethoxam (TMX) in cultivation, residue and dissipation experiments for field trials were performed with the application of TMX in compost and casing soil, respectively. An effective QuEChERS method was established to analyze TMX and its two metabolites, clothianidin (CLO) and thiamethoxam-urea (TMX-urea), in compost, casing soil, and fruiting bodies. The results indicated that the TMX dissipation half-lives (t) at dosages of 10 and 50 mg kg were 19.74 d (day) and 28.87 d in compost and 33.54 d and 42.59 d in casing soil, individually. TMX, CLO, and TMX-urea were observed after TMX application in compost and casing soil. For TMX applied to the casing soil, only TMX residues were detected in fruiting bodies with bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of 0.0003~0.0009. In addition, both the chronic risk quotient (RQ) and acute risk quotient (HQ) values of TMX in fruiting bodies were far less than 1, which means the dietary health risks to humans were acceptable. However, in the TMX application to the compost, these analytes were not detected in the fruiting bodies. This suggested that the application of TMX in compost was safer than in casing soil during cultivation.

Background: Casing soil is critical for the cultivation process of and promotes the formation of mushroom fruiting bodies. Therefore, reliable casing soil indicators are crucial for obtaining high yields of high-quality mushrooms.

Methods: In this study, soil enzyme activity, physicochemical properties, and microorganisms at five cultivation stages [namely casing (A1), mycelial (A2), primordial (A3), fruiting (A4), and harvesting (A5)] of cultivation were evaluated in casing soils.

Department of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology, The Pennsylvanian State University, University Park, PA, USA.

Productive cultivation of the button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) relies on the use of selective substrates and effective disease management. In extending our previous work on manipulating the developmental microbiome (devome), this study employs the strategy of substrate passaging to explore its effects on crop outcomes and disease dynamics. Here we subjected the casing substrate to ten cycles of passaging.

Pile foundation structures are widely used in the construction of high-piled wharves in coastal soft soil areas due to their excellent adaptability to such environments. However, the extensive, deep backfilling involved in constructing these wharves can easily induce negative skin friction (NSF) on the piles, resulting in safety issues such as excessive settlement during the service life of the structures. This paper presents an indoor model experiment to examine the distribution of the THE NSF under varying pile-top loads and surcharge effects on single pile and double-sleeve pile foundations.
