Effect of agricultural substrates mixture on yield and growth performance of two different species of Pleurotus
Abstract
Mushroom cultivation provides a sustainable way to manage agricultural waste by utilizing organic residues as substrates. This approach not only promotes recycling but also improves agricultural productivity by reusing available resources. This study examines the growth and yield performance of Pleurotus florida and P. ostreatus on three substrates such as paddy straw (A), banana leaves (B), and a 1:1 mix of both (C). Pleurotus florida colonizes the substrate faster, while P. ostreatus outperforms in yield, biological efficiency, and organic mass loss. Both species produced higher yields on substrates B and C than on A. Moreover, both species reduced substrate pH effectively. Pleurotus ostreatus acidified the substrate more efficiently than P. florida. The findings emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate substrates to optimize oyster mushroom cultivation, improving both yield and substrate utilization efficiency.
