Cultivation of Pleurotus Mushroomsin Axenic Culture through the Use of Crop Residues
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 12
Abstract
The axenic method for cultivation presents the potential for regular and safe production as it provides for the sterilization of substrates, reduces the early period of production and maintains controlled and predictable conditions in the development of the mushrooms. This study aims to evaluate the axenic cultivation of Pleurotus sajor-caju, Pleurotus ostreatoroseus and Pleurotus citrinopileatus in three different substrates. The substrates of Ricinuscammunis L., Oriza sativa L. and Pennisetumpurpureum L. were rehydrated for 24 hours, drained and packaged. Each of the substrates were autoclaved, inoculated with spawn 3% (w/w) and incubated for colonization after cooling. For fruiting, the bags were stored in a fructification chamber (25°; RH: 75-90%). After harvesting, fresh weight, yield and biological efficiency were measured. P. citrinopileatus provided the highest average fresh mass (79.42g) and productivity (15.88%) when grown in agricultural residues of mamona. The highest biological efficiency (54.80%) was found in P. ostreatoroseus when grown in rice straw. The substrates of mamona residues and rice straw are the most appropriate for the cultivation of P. citrinopileatus and P. ostreatoroseus, respectively. The data presented in this study indicates that the cultivation of Pleurotus sp. in different substrates offers a cost-effective agricultural alternative for agriculture.
