Effect of different doses of GA3 application at primordia initiation stage on the growth and yield of Oyster mushroom

Abstract

Gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) was sprayed with eleven doses viz. 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 ppm at the primordia initiation stage to evaluate its effect on the growth and yield performance of Oyster Mushroom. At 10 ppm level GA 3 gave the highest economic yield and dry weight. Application of GA 3 increased the fresh economic yields to about 30% and 34%, while 80% and 115% dry weights increase occurred compared to the control at first and second harvests, respectively. GA 3 showed a positive effect on number of effective fruiting body, stalk length, pileus diameter, biological yield, economic yield and dry economic yield. The result suggested that GA 3 at 10 ppm/packet would be the best possible concentration for production of Oyster Mushroom.

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT DOSES OF GIBBERELLIC ACID ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD PERFORMANCE OF OYSTER MUSHROOM (Pleurotus Ostreatus)

“…Overall, there was an increase in total yield with the application of GA3 in different treatments when compared to control. The obtained result was statistically significant and similar to the findings (Dey et al, 2007;Sarker and Chowdhury, 2014;Dey, 1996;Ashrafuzzaman et al, 2005).…”

“…The first harvest was nonsignificant (Table 1). Similar results were obtained from (Sarker and Chowdhury, 2014;Dey et al, 2007;Ashrafuz zaman et al, 2005;Xavier et al, 2001).…”

Optimization of oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus) mushroom cultivation using locally available substrates and materials in Debre Berhan, Ethiopia

“…Significantly the highest run rate was recorded at 70% moisture level [12]. pH of the straw before adding chalk and gypsum was 5.8 .This might be because of the acids produced by microbes in substrates during soaking of substrates in water since it was soaked overnight.…”

“…Highest yield is observed at pH 7 even though there is no significant yield difference at the pH 6-8 [13,14]. However, the biological efficiency, biological yield and economic yield were increased with the increase of pH levels up to 5.04 and then decreased [12]. On contrary, Nwokoye et al [15] showed that P. ostreatus was able to grow optimally at pH of 9.…”

Effect of Polyamine on Physio-Morphological Traits in Sugarcane Grown under Sodic Soil

“…Zerihun Tsegaye (2015) found that the number of fruiting bodies recorded is related to their mycelia colonization. Sarker and Chowdhury (2013) reported that the concentration level 10 ppm and 20 ppm produced the highest number of effective fruiting body. This similar finding has also been reported by Day et al, (2007).…”
