STUDIED ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF SPAWN PRODUCTION BY SUPPLEMENTATION OF DIFFERENT SUGARS AND ITS SPAWN EFFECTS ON YIELD OF OYSTER MUSHROOMS (Pleurotus djamor)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Spawn is an essential component of mushroom production and it has a big effect on the sporophores production. During the mushroom session, production of quality spawn in minimum days and availability for planting beds of mushroom is a big challenge for mushroom growers. The present study was conducted with the aim to find out the most favorable sugar for the improvement of spawn quality and production in minimum days and its effect on yield and growth of Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus djamor). In the present Studyfive different sugars viz. Dextrose, Maltose, Starch, Sucrose and Glucose were mixed as a supplement with wheat grain for spawn production and effects of its spawn on the yield of sporophores and growth of Pleurotus djamor were also observed. The results obtained during the present investigation, in the spawn production maximum mycelial growth (98.00 mm) was found in glucose on 20th days and the mycelium was thick then others while in case of sporophores production maximum yield (613.33g/Kg of dry substrate with 61.33% B.E.) and minimum days for first harvesting (23.00 days) were observed in glucose spawn. Based on the results obtained, for production of Pleurotus djamor spawn and sporophores yield, glucose would be recommended most effective sugar for spawn and sporophores production useas supplement in Wheat grain.
