Effect of Agrowaste Composting Duration on The Growth and Yield ofTwo Species of Pleurotus
Abstract
Study on the effect of agrowaste composting duration on the growth and yield of two species of Pleurotus was carried out in the Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology and Dilomat Farms and Services Limited all in Rivers State University. Agrowaste materials including sawdust, Rhizophora racemosa wood ash and rice bran were composted for five months for the cultivation of P. ostreatus and P. eryngii and the experiment was established in five replicates. The composted substrate bags were incubated for 4 weeks before being transferred for cropping and harvesting. Length of mycelia ramification assessment revealed higher lengths 3.36±0.48cm, 6.6. ±0.83cm, 8.74±1.65cm and 11.00±2.00cm for weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively for P. ostreatus than those oberserved for P. eryngii. P. ostreatus also recorded higher percentage rates of mycelia ramification than P. eryngii. Yield and yield components investigation showed higher height of fruiting body (9.8±1.56cm), diameter of pileus (5.44±0.41cm) and number of fruiting body (31) for P. ostreatus while P. eryngii recorded higher values for length of stipe (6.12±0.93), width of stipe (1.78±0.28) and weight of harvest (31.06±12.26g). The duration of compost influenced the growth and yield of both species when compared with earlier studies. Generally, P. ostreatus performed better than P. eryngii.
