Comparative study on the growth and yield of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus f. florida Cetto) on some common agricultural and garden wastes
431
Abstract
Oyster mushroom is an important mushroom of culinary value. Recently, there has been an upsurge of research activities on this mushroom not only for its nutritive and medicinal values but also for its biopotential in recycling of agricultural residues, bioconversion of lignocellulosic wastes, bioremediation and degradation of xenobiotics. During the course of present study, some commonly available agricultural and garden wastes were assessed for the cultivation and yield evaluation of Pleurotus ostreatus f. florida.  It was observed that for complete spawn run, Pleurotus ostreatus f. florida took minimum time (10 days) on paddy straw and maize cobs, whereas on garden wastes, it took more time ranging from 15 to 18 days. Among the tested wastes, straw of Oryza sativa and leaves of Lagerstroemia speciosa supported maximum number of pinheads and sporophores. However, maximum yield of this mushroom was achieved on the agricultural wastes and it varied from 351.0 to 369.1g/500g of dry substrate with maximum on paddy straw (369.1g). Among the garden wastes, maximum yield of the sporophores (210.5g/500g of dry substrate) was achieved on the fallen leaves of Lagerstroemia speciosa. This investigation showed that the garden wastes can also be successfully used for the cultivation of P. ostreatus f. florida, although their biological efficiency is comparatively lower than that of the agro-wastes.
