The Effect of Different Volimetric Rates of The Peat and Pumice Mixtures on Yield and Quality of Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus (L.) Sing)

23268

this research was carried out to determine the effects of peat-pumice mixtures on yield and quality of Agaricus bisporus. In the study, pumice, in different diamaters (0-4 mm: small size; 4-8 mm: mixed size; 8-16 mm: large size), was mixed with peat (0%-control, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%; (Peat/Pumice; v/v)) and used as casing soil. The 85 % peat + 15 % mixed size pumice mixture was found to be most effective and provided an 21% increase in yield when compared to control treatment. When considering the weight of sporophore and cap, peat with %5 - 10 - 15 volumetric mixtures of different diamensions of pumice were resulted more high values observed depends on control treatment.
