Cultivation Of Pleurotus Ostreatus Var Florida Using Sawdust, Banana Pesudostem, And Palm Oil Waste
ABSTRACT
The edible mushroom, Pleurotus Ostreatus var Florida was
grown on locally available plant wastes namely; dry banana leave, sawdust, and
oil palm fiber. The experiment was carried out to determine, the effect of
these wastes in the production and development of fruit bodies. The substrates
were pasteurized for 8Oc for one hour in a gas-heated drum after soaking (the
wastes) overnight in water. The cultures were inoculated and incubated at room
temperature. Primordium initiation started about two weeks after inoculation.
The primordial matured into fruit bodies in 2-3 days and harvested (Pleurotus
Ostreatus var Florida). Three substrate were used for the cultivation of the
Pleurotus Ostreatus among the three substrate, the best yield came from banana
leaves with the total number of fruit bodies of 64%,this was followed by palm
oil fiber with total number of 25% and the lowest came from sawdust with
21%.The Coprinus species inhibited the growth of Pleurotus Ostreatus fruit
bodies and hence posed a threat to the experiment
