“…Interactions of nutrient elements in substrate significantly affected nutrient uptake of celery. High concentrations of available nutrients in the substrate did not always result in high nutrient uptake by plant due to the imbalance of nutrients (Medina et al 2009). Regression analysis revealed that available P concentration in substrate had a logarithmic relation with the P contents in the leaves of celery (R 2 = 0.88, P < 0.001, n = 15), which was in agreement with the results of Marschner (1995).…”

Li Y., Wang T., Li J., Ao Y., 2010. Effect of phosphorus on celery growth and nutrient uptake under different calcium and magnesium levels in substrate culture. Hort. Sci. (Prague), 37: 99-108.A greenhouse pot experiment was performed to study the effect of phosphorus (P) on celery (Apium graveolens L.) growth, quality and nutrient uptake under different calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) levels in substrate culture. Results showed that there were significant interactions between P and the level of Ca and Mg in the growing media. Celery above-ground fresh weight, total dry biomass, leaf area, and P, Ca and Mg concentrations in celery leaves significantly increased from 0 to 124 mg/l P application. The opposite trends were observed for root/shoot ratio, leaf chlorophyll, carotenoids, soluble protein, soluble sugar, vitamin C, and nitrogen and potassium concentration in celery leaves. Medium Ca and Mg level (Ca 320 and Mg 192 mg/l) significantly increased celery above-ground fresh weight, total dry biomass and leaf area compared to low (Ca 160 and Mg 96 mg/l) and high (Ca 640 and Mg 384 mg/l) levels. This study suggested that 124-248 mg/l P applications under medium Ca and Mg level were appropriate for celery nutritional requirements.

“…Briefly, SMC enhanced number of shoot but not showed significant different performance in shoot proliferation for number of leaves and shoots amongst treatments. This revealed that the addition of SMC increased the pH values, salt contents, macro and micronutrient concentrations, thus improved shoot regeneration [10]. Wang et al [11] supported this observation as reported that Agaricus bisporus SMC increased number of leaves of green cauliflower and cabbage in soil.…”

Abstract. This study investigates the effect of Pleurotus spent mushroom compost as green supplementary nutrient in tissue culture. Different concentration of Pleurotus spent mushroom compost in powder (SMC) and activated carbon (SMCAC) were added into Murashige and Skoog media (MS) with 0.1 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The shoot regeneration of Clinacantus nutans plant such as number of shoots, number of leaves and length of leaves were recorded for four weeks. Collected data was analyzed using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test through the SPSS Statistics 21 software. The 0.1 g/L SMC recorded the highest leaves numbers. Meanwhile, 0.2 g/L SMC showed highest performance in length of shoot. The SMCAC showed a negative response in number of leaves and shoot as well as length of shoot. In summary, the SMC showed significant performance in number of leave and shoot length but less effective on number of shoot. In contradictory, the SMCAC reported poor performance in shoot regeneration but contribute in absorption of nutrient from environment and storage of the nutrient asfunction of biochar. Therefore, the SMC has a high potential as a green supplementary nutrient for tissue culture. The application of this material has contributes into the green technology via convert waste to product, which is in-line with zero waste concept.

“…It is used for the culture of Agaricus bisporus and 5 kg of mushroom substrate are needed to obtain 1 kg of mushroom (Williams et al, 2001;Rasib et al, 2015). The farming amendment, at the end of the mushroom cultivation cycle, is an organic substrate rich in nutrients (Jordan et al, 2008), especially nitrogen, which has a considerable agronomic value when used as a fertilizer or soil improver (Curtin and Mullen, 2007;Medina et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2012).…”

Techno humus systems correspond to man-made topsoils under prominent man influence. They may be purposely\ud conceived for supporting agricultural activities or dumping of waste products, sometimes abandoned to\ud an unknown evolution. Both categories needed a more scientific frame. This is the reason we classified them as\ud morpho-functional humus systems. Improving agricultural soils with organic waste products is an ancestral\ud practice. We present four examples of techno humus systems purposely created for supporting plant growth.\ud Considering a simple home-made composting pile, we give a few basic notions about the biological functioning\ud of these artificial humus systems. Humipedon functioning and structuration are similar to those observed in\ud natural humus systems. Using even animal manure, we illustrate how to manage larger compost piles of waste\ud for application in farming areas. Composting waste that contains animal proteins needs a more careful measurement\ud of the temperature of the pile and a longer period of elevated temperature in the core of the pile.\ud Mulching of pruning residues is presented in a large urban context. The use of mulch must take into account\ud quality and composition of woody material. The lack of nutrients in some residues has to be compensated by a\ud moderate use of appropriate mineral fertilizers. Municipal solid waste, anaerobic digestion residues (grape remains)\ud and spent mushroom compost, eventually mixed with mineral fertilizers, have been tested in horticulture.\ud Benefits and drawbacks are listed for each experiment, with the evolution of carbon storage along 8\ud years of horticultural practice. Finally, we present an example of “dump” humus system. Mine tailing wastes\ud represent a huge problem in many countries. Pointing on their microbial activity, we show that they must be\ud seen as manageable living humipedons, not as piles of inert rocky material
