Abstract:
The present study was undertaken to find the suitable substrates for cultivation of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) using different agro wastes such as paddy straw, coconut coir, ragi straw, newspapers, paddy straw + newspapers (1:1), paddy straw + ragi straw (1:1) and paddy straw + coconut coir (1:1). Highest yield and biological efficiency was obtained from paddy straw followed by paddy + ragi straw substrates (1:1), paddy+ coconut coir substrates (1:1), paddy+ newspapers substrates (1:1), respectively. Minimum yield was obtained from newspapers.
