Cultivation Of Pleurotus Species Pit On Two Different Local Available Agricultural Wastes
ABSTRACT
Studies on growing Pleurotus sp (PIT)
on rice straw and plantain leaves have been carried out. The culture medium
used was malt extract Agar (MEA) which was prepared according to standard
laboratory practice. Millet grain and saw dust were used for the preparation of
spawn. Bulk substrate packed in perforated buckets was pasteurized by steam,
inoculated at 5% spawn and incubated at room temperature fOr three weeks before
primordia emerged and'developed into fruitbodies. Rice straw substrate gave higher
yield than plantain leaves. There were significant differences between the
fruitbody formation, weight of fruitbodiés and diameter of the pileus formed on
rice straw and plantain leaves.
