The effect of hole (perforation) and hole size of plastic bucket on the fruit body yield and yield characteristics of pleurotus ostreatus var florida:- Okorie, Chisaa L
ABSTRACT
The
effect of hole (perforation) numbers and hole size of plastic buckets on the
fruit body yield and yield characteristics of Pleurotus ostreatus var florida
was investigated. Malt extract agar was used to sub-culture the mushroom
mycelium that was used in the spawn preparation. The substrate, Pennisetum
straw used to cultivate the mushroom was prepared in the mushroom house.
The result of the investigation showed that hole size did not significantly
influence the fruit body yield and fresh weight even though there were slight
variations in the yield. Hole size influenced the fruit body yield bit
influenced the weight of the fruit bodies, pileus size and stipe length. Eighty
one holes per bucket had the heaviest fruit bodies and widest pileus, while the
longest stipes were recorded in hole number 1 (54 holes). It is, however,
recommended that for more yield, and good characteristics of the mushroom, hole
size 3 is recommended. The more the holes, however, the more the yield.
