In 1997, Prof. Dr. Ralf-Udo Ehlers, Dr. Arne Peters, and Tillmann Frank started their joint mission to produce entomopathogenic nematodes for biological pest control on large-scale. What started as a spin-off of a university research project has grown into an internationally successful company with over 70 employees. The three partners share the vision of sustainably reducing the global use of chemical pesticides by providing biological alternatives. To achieve this, it is necessary to offer biological products in large quantities and at competitive prices. For this reason, e-nema GmbH has always invested many resources in research and the expansion of production capacities and has meanwhile risen to become the largest producer of entomopathogenic nematodes worldwide.
To celebrate its 25th anniversary, e-nema has modernized its brand identity and corporate website. An important step to communicate the dynamic growth and the expertise gained over the years in the field of biological crop protection in an appealing way to the outside world.

Sales Manager and mushroom expert Ulrich Tiemann is optimistic about the future after a year of difficult general conditions:
"We have already achieved a lot in the past years, but the road towards sustainable agriculture and food production is still very long. The mushroom market is an absolute positive example for us. Through the intelligent use of resources and the use of nematodes to control sciarids and phorids, many people are already being supplied with healthy, high-quality, and sustainable mushroom products. And we are very proud to play our part in this. We assume that awareness will also change more and more in many other plant cultures in the future, or that the change is already in full swing."

Button mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms are two of the most popular types of mushrooms, and ones that you can easily find at a grocery store or in a list of ingredients for tasty pasta dishes or soups. However, knowing which species to use can be confusing. Many people are not familiar with the differences in how mushrooms are cultivated and do not know how to identify their different flavors. When should you use a button mushroom? If you don’t like the taste of a shiitake, should you assume that you will not enjoy a button mushroom either?

This article compares and contrasts the appearance, history, taste, and uses of each. By the end, you will know how to identify each and understand some of their major similarities and differences.

Imagine the third picking day of a first flush. In the morning the pickers are picking a beautiful mushroom.

Around noon the mushrooms are starting to lose colour and 3 hours later they start growing like mad. Stems are stretching and caps are getting soft.

This week we, Mushcomb, delivered our Bunker filler to our Wyoming client in America.

It can fill bunkers up to 4 meter high and 7 meter wide for efficient storage of compost. Additionally, it is equipped with a powerful PLC system for automatically swinging out, heating, and cooling hydraulic motors for efficient and safe operation.

The swivel belt has an independent frequency control including software which enables the user to fill in 3 different speeds with just a touch on the controls. This means greater precision and less mess when filling up bunkers or aerated floors. The large model also allows for more compost to be stored inside the hopper which is beneficial for larger operations that require bigger buffers of material. Furthermore, the increased length and power of its swivel conveyor makes it possible to fill even higher and wider bunkers.
