Application of spent Flammulina velutipes substrate in substrate cultivation of watermelon.
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: Watermelon varieties Zaojia 8424 and Sumi 5 were used as the tested materials,five compound substrates were made of spent Flammulina velutipes substrate(SFVS),rice husk and sand,and the application of SFVS in the substrate cultivation of watermelon was studied.The results showed that the suitable content of SFVS in compound substrate was beneficial to the increase in the yield and quality of watermelon,while its high or low content was not suitable for the growth of watermelon.When the ratio of SFVS,rice husk and sand was 4∶2∶1,watermelon grew best,and the leaf area,stem diameter and single-fruit weight of two varieties were the best.When the ratio of SFVS,rice husk and sand was 4∶2∶1,the soluble solids content in the fruit of Zaojia 8424 was the highest,while the soluble solids content in the fruit of Sumi 5 was not sensitive to the substrate constituents.
