Impact of Chickpea, Soybean and Wheat Straw on Cultivation of Oyster Mushroom (P. membranaceus)
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This experiment aimed to evaluate the use of soybeanstraw (SS) and chickpea straw (CS) with wheat straw (WS) in different rations like 100%: 0%, 75%: 25%, 50%: 50%, 25%: 75% and 0: 100% to grow as an edible mushroom.Among all aspects, WS P. membranaceus (control) was the best substrate with yield (902.10 gm) and biological efficiency (90.21%) followed by SS 75% + 25 % WS (865.08g and 86.50%) and the lowest was from CS 100% (764.30g and 76.43%).The study corroborates that WS is one of the best substrates for oyster mushroom cultivation, while combinations with SS can enhance certain fruiting characteristics.However, CS appears less effective for growth and yield, potentially due to its slower decomposition and lower nutrient availability.Future studies could explore additional supplementation of CS to improve its performance.
