In this study, the effects of various kinds of sawdust and supplements on the yield of Ganoderma lucidum were investigated in artificial cultivation. The sawdust of Alnus nepalensis, Shorea robusta and Dalbergia sisoo and supplements of rice bran , wheat bran, corn flour and gram flour were used as substrates in Ganoderma lucidum cultivation . Sawdust alone was used in control as a substrate media in the cultivation. Significant differences (P< 0.05) were found among varieties of sawdusts and supplements. Similarly significant differences (P<0.05) were found in sawdust with supplements and without supplements in yield and biological efficiency. Dalbergia sisoo sawdust could not give yield in ambient condition; Shorea robusta gave very low yield and biological efficiency. Alnus nepalensis gave good yield and biological efficiency compared to the other sawdust.The highest yield and Biological efficiency were obtained from gram flour compared to the other brans. Alnus nepalensis sawdust supplemented with gram flour showed higher yield among all treatments. Supplementation showed positive role in mycelia growth and yield of mushroom.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
