Abstract
Oyster mushrooms are one of the most common types of cultivated mushrooms in the world. The current research was conducted to evaluate different agricultural wastes to improve the yield production of oyster mushroom. In the present research, five concentrations (T1 = 100% Ficus leaves, T2 = 75% Ficus leaves + 25% Agri. waste, T3 = 50% Ficus leaves + 50% Agri. waste, T4 = 25% Ficus leaves + 75% Agri. waste and T5 = 0% Ficus leaves + 100% Agri. waste) of various agricultural wastes namely wheat straw, corn meal, cotton waste and thatch grass were used along with F. religiosa leaves. The experiment was conducted in under completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. It was observed that the treatment T3 expressed more yield (413.48 g) as compared to the other treatments viz., T4 = 376.65g, T5 = 340.91g, T2 = 292.64g and T1 = 250.49g, respectively, in all the three flushes. It was concluded that the yield production and biological efficacy of treatment 3 containing 50% Ficus leaves + 50% Agri. waste were highly useful to enhance the yield of oyster mushroom and can be used in future.
