A Comparative Study Of Some Agricultural Waste Products For The Cultivation Pleurotus Ostreatus (Florida)
ABSTRACT
A study was carried out to cultivate
the edible mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus (florida) from five agricultural waste
products which include corn straw. Vertivar straw, elephant grass straw,
Paspalum grass and Acasia leaf P. osfreallis (jioricia,), a tropical edible
mushroom was able to utilize a wide range of agricultural wastes for vegetative
growth and fructification. Laboratory medium used in preparing the mycelial
colony was malt extract agar (MEA) and the spawn was made from millet grains.
The field substrates consisted of unsuplemented straws of dilTerent species of
the Poaceae lamely, which were uncomposed and pasteurized. The day temperature
of the growth room was 32 ± 1°C and relative humidity was about 60%. The
results are discussed in relation to earlier works on cultivation Pleurotus
mushrooms.
