“…Spent mushroom substrate, as an organic solid waste residue after cultivation of edible fungi, has been applied in some aspects. ,− However, much less attention is given to its pyrolysis characteristics, especially influences of SMS on product distribution and liquid characterization during copyrolysis with oil shale. In this work, copyrolysis of spent mushroom substrate as biomass and Huadian oil shale was investigated by a combination of the thermogravimetric analyzer and the lab-scale reactor.…”

In this work, thermal behaviors of Huadian oil shale, spent mushroom substrate, and their mixture were investigated in a thermogravimetric analyzer. The Coats−Redfern method was adopted to calculate kinetic parameters. The results indicated that there were remarkable synergetic effects during the copyrolysis. In addition, an comparison of the experimental and the calculated yields was carried out over a temperature range of 490−590 °C by a lab-scale retorting reactor. It showed that synergetic effects between raw materials promoted the producing of oil and gas and reduced the formation of solid residues. Besides, characteristics of the obtained oil indicated that the presence of spent mushroom substrate produced significant influences on the chemical component distribution.

“…In terms of global production, China currently accounts for around 70%, while in Europe, Poland is the biggest producer with almost 300,000 tons [ 9 ], followed by the Netherlands. Current cultivation methods can achieve an estimated yield of approximately 30 kilos per square meter, see details at http://www.mushroomidea.co.uk/about-mushrooms/facts-and-figures/index.cfm?articles_id=F1AE27D3-4AA4-4373-B699-E4CDEDE89024 .…”

Statistical modelling for precision agriculture: A case study in optimal environmental schedules for Agaricus Bisporus production via variable domain functional regression

Quantifying the effects of environmental factors over the duration of the growing process on Agaricus Bisporus (button mushroom) yields has been difficult, as common functional data analysis approaches require fixed length functional data. The data available from commercial growers, however, is of variable duration, due to commercial considerations. We employ a recently proposed regression technique termed Variable-Domain Functional Regression in order to be able to accommodate these irregular-length datasets. In this way, we are able to quantify the contribution of covariates such as temperature, humidity and water spraying volumes across the growing process, and for different lengths of growing processes. Our results indicate that optimal oxygen and temperature levels vary across the growing cycle and we propose environmental schedules for these covariates to optimise overall yields.

“…Macronutrients are elements that must be present in plants in high quantities (SINGH; DWIVEDI, 2019). They are substances that play fundamental roles in the formation of plant tissues, fruits, and flowers, root development, conservation of water levels in the plant, and other functions (TUHY et al, 2015). This group is composed of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S) (LIU; LAL, 2015).…”

The adequate bioavailability of nutrients to plants is among the various difficulties of the agricultural sector. Thus, the existence of mechanisms for controlled release of the nutrients is essential for planting, as well as novel techniques that do not cause adverse effects. The use of nanotechnology in agriculture can bring many benefits, such as better use of nutrients by plants, reducing waste. Nanofertilizers are an emerging technology and a constantly expanding class of agrochemicals, representing possible solutions to the development of sustainable agriculture. Based on this, the present work aims to update and discuss some relevant topics about these nanomaterials, such as different synthesis approaches, possible mechanisms for the capture of nanofertilizers by plants, and the advantages and limitations of using these materials. Also, an overview of the main literature in the area is presented approaching current studies that use green chemistry concepts.
