Evaluation of different substrates on growth period and yield of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) (Jacq. Fr.) P. Kumm Naik R. Ravi, Chandra Ram Deptt. of Mycology and Plant Pathology, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi – 221005(U.P.) Online published on 30 November, 2019. Abstract Mushroom cultivation is the most suitable technology for creating wealth and health out of waste from plants, animal and industries which are abundantly available on earth in India. There are agricultural waste are available in huge quantity but maximum part of these agricultural waste are burnt after harvesting. This poor management of agricultural waste are increasing environmental pollution. The investigations carried out on the comparison of different substrates on growth period and yield of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) revealed minimum spawn run period on wheat straw (20.67 days) against maximum of 25 days on paddy straw. Similar pattern in the cropping period, registering lowest of 54 days on wheat straw and maximum of 60 days on paddy straw was recorded. The highest yield (878 g bed−1) was obtained from mushroom bed of wheat straw + paddy straw + weeds. Wheat straw substrate also gave a good yield (821.33 g bed−1) while the lowest (598.34 g bed−1) from mushroom bed of paddy straw. Top Keywords Agri wastes, growth, yield and Pleurotus ostreatus.
