Impact Of Organic Waste On Mycelial Growth And Yield Of Oyster Mushroom

Abstract

The present research an objective to improve the quality of mushroom by organic waste (leaf extract and leaf powder) was caried to enhance production. The experiment was conducted in seven treatments with three replications at mushroom unit and plant pathology laboratory at Uttaranchal university, Dehradun. In this article observe effect of botanical waste to be recorded on mycelial growth, spawn production and sporophore production. The observation to be recorded after 9^th days maximum radial growth was observed in T₆ (90.00 mm) and minimum radial growth was observed in T₄ (24.00 mm). The effect of botanical powders on spawn production after 15^th days maximum mycelial growth was observed in T₆ (9.00 cm) and minimum mycelial growth observed in T₄ (5.03 cm). Minimum DFSR in T₆ (11.33 days) was observed and maximum DFSR (16.00 days) was observed in T₄. The minimum DFFH (17.67 days) was observed in T₆ and maximum DFFH (29.00 days) observed in T₄. Minimum DFCP were observed T₆ (47.33 days) and maximum DFCP (60.33 days) observed in T₄. The maximum number of sporophore was found in T₆ (15.67) and minimum number of sporophore (5.00) observed in T₄. The maximum production was observed in T₆ (550.00 g/kg of dry wt. substrate) with 55.00% biological efficiency and minimum yield (453.33 g/kg of dry wt. substrate) with 45.33% biological efficiency observed in T₄ respectively.
