An experiment was conducted at IAAS Rampur, with an objective of finding
appropriate substrate and ingredients composition for oyster mushroom (Pleurotus
sajor-caju) cultivation in Chitwan. Altogether seventeen treatments of
various ratios of base materials (rice and wheat straw) and ingredients (rice
polish and sawdust) were tested. Among them, 5% rice polish + 95% rice straw
performed the best (1.074 kg from one kg dry medium) followed by 10% rice polish
+ 90% rice straw (1.064 kg) and 5% sawdust + 95% rice straw (1.032 kg). The
least yield was obtained from T6 (15% rice polish + 85% wheat straw (0.305 kg).
It was also seriously affected by Trichoderma, a green mould competitor. |
