Abstract:
Three kinds of agricultural wastes were evaluated for their suitability for the production of sclerotia by Pleurotus tuber-regium. Cotton seed hulls and rice straw were more suitable for the production of sclerotia by the fungus than sawdust on the basis of biological efficiency. The optimum temperature and water content of the substrate for the production of sclerotia were 20℃ and 65%(w/w) respectively when cotton seed hulls were used as the substrate without adding any nutrient. In addition, supplementation of rice bran into the same substrate reduced markedly both production of sclerotia and biological efficiency of the fungus.
Key words:Pleurotus tuber-regium, Sclerotia, Cotton seed hull
