This study was carried out to examine the effects of sago bark (SB) and sago frond (SF) waste on the growth and yield of grey oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sajor-caju). Nine substrate formulas were studied, including sawdust (SD) alone as a control and the combination of 25:75, 50:50, and 75:25 ratios between SD and SB or SF. The results showed a significant difference in the total colonisation period, total fruiting body yield, and biological efficiency (BE). However, an insignificant difference was determined in the characteristics of the fruiting body for different substrate formulas. The substrates with the ratio of 50SD:50SF and 100 SD are the most suitable substrate formulas for the cultivation of P. sajor-caju. One hundred (100) SD achieved the fastest total colonisation period (24.44 days) but there was no significant difference with 75SD:25SF (24.78 days) and also obtained the fastest first harvest (50.33 days). However, 100SD produced a significantly lower total fruiting body yield (77.99 g/bunch) compared to 50SD:50SF, which produced the highest total yield (88.09 g/ bunch) and highest BE (17.62%) with a short total colonisation period (26.45 days). The substrates produced high values in cap diameter, stipe length, and effective fruiting bodies.

Selenium (Se) is one of the most important micronutrients needed for human health. However, the content of Se compound in animals and plants isrelativelysmallin order to meet recommended intakes of Se. Therefore, Se fortification in food source, such as mushroom, is needed. In this study, fortification was carried out by adding sodium selenite to the growth media (the mixture of sawdust and OPEFB) of brown oyster mushrooms included Pleurotus pulmonarius and Pleurotus sajor-caju, in various concentrations of 100, 200, 300, and 400 ppm. The results showed that the highest absorption of Se in P. pulmonarius and P. sojur caju (3.51 and 2.31 %, respectively) obtained from 200 ppm sodium selenite addition. High concentrations of sodium selenite in baglog media tend to inhibit mycellium growth and the production of mushroom fruiting body. The additions of 200 ppm sodium selenite in baglog media of P. pulmonarius and P. sajor-caju were the best treatment in term of the fastest mycelium coverage in 40 and 37 days with the highest biological efficiency ratio (BER) value of 18.80 and 17.89 %, respectively.Layu Senyawa selenium (Se) merupakan salah satu mikronutrien terpenting yang harus dipenuhi kebutuhannya dalam tubuh. Akan tetapi, kandungan senyawa Se pada hewan dan tumbuhan sangat kecil untuk memenuhi kebutuhan asupan Se yang dianjurkan. Oleh karena itu, fortifikasi Se pada sumber pangan seperti pada jamur diperlukan. Dalam penelitian ini, fortifikasi dilakukan dengan menambahkan sodium selenit ke dalam media pertumbuhan (campuran serbuk gergaji dan TKKS) jamur tiram coklat, yaitu Pleurotus pulmonarius dan Pleurotus sajor-caju dengan berbagai konsentrasi,diantaranya: 100, 200, 300, dan 400 ppm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penyerapan Se tertinggi pada P. pulmonarius dan P. sojurcaju yaitu masing-masingsebesar 3,51 dan 2,31% diperoleh dari penambahan sodium selenit 200 ppm. Konsentrasi sodium selenit yang tinggi pada media baglog cenderung menghambat pertumbuhan miselium dan produksi tubuh buah jamur. Penambahan sodium selenit sebanyak 200 ppm pada media baglog P. pulmonarius dan P. sajor-caju merupakan perlakuan terbaik ditinjau dari waktu tercepat pertumbuhan miselium jamur menutupi media dalam baglog, yaitu masing-masing 40 dan 37 hari dengan nilai biological efficiency ratio (BER) tertinggi, yaitu 18,80 dan 17,89 % secara berurutan.

Pleurotus ostreatus, an edible mushroom is an essential food product. Recognised as one of the cheapest sources of proteins, their high nutritional and anti-nutritional properties are of immense importance to humans. The present study evaluated the effect of sawdust and dried plantain leaves on the growth and yield of Pleurotus ostreatus. Sawdust and dried plantain leaves were composted into seven substrates; as single substrates and at different combinations. The composted substrates include sawdust 100 % (M0), Dry plantain leaves 100% (M1), Dry plantain leaves + sawdust at the ratio of 1:4 (M2), 2:3 (M3), 3:2 (M4), 1:1 (M5) and 4:1(M6). Growth parameters of interest assessed flush include mycelia running rate (MRR), area of pileus, length of the stipe, the girth of the stipe, fresh weight and dry weight, number of fruit body, total yield and biological efficiency. At the end of the three weeks spawn running period, M0 was overall best in supporting mycelia running rate with a mean MRR of 16.00 cm. M1 substrates produced mushroom with longer and bigger stipes (7.17 cm) at the first flush. A higher number of fruit bodies (82.66), total yield (130.35 g), and biological efficiency (43.45 g) were all seen in M0 substrates. Sawdust at 100 % (M0) proved to be the best substrate for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus.

The cultivation of consumption mushrooms in Indonesia is showing an encouraging development. Currently, Indonesia is included as one of the world's major mushroom suppliers. Mushrooms are a source of vegetable protein that does not contain cholesterol and can prevent high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and can reduce body weight. The research objective was to determine the effect of composting time on planting media on the growth and yield of white oyster mushrooms. The research was conducted in the Mapin Kebak Village, sub-district Alas Barat star from May to June 2020. The research was conducted using an experimental method and using a completely randomized design consisting of 5 treatments, where each treatment consisted of three replications. The research treatments consisted of M1 = composting for 6 hours; M2 = composting for 12 hours; M3 = composting for 24 hours; M4 = composting for 36 hours and M5 = composting for 48 hours. Furthermore, the data from the observations were analyzed by ANOVA at the real level of 5%. If the results of the data analysis show a significant difference, then a further test is carried out using the Least Significant Difference Test at the 5% real level. The results of the analysis showed that the fastest time to spread mycelium was in the M5 treatment, the composting time was 48 hours. The fastest primordia emergence time was 24 hours composting M3 treatment. The heaviest fruit weight was in treatment M3 and the lowest fruit weight was in treatment M1.

Field experiment on production systems of `Selva' day-neutral and `Totem' June-bearing strawberry was established in 1995 on the spring-killed cover crop mulched plots using randomized complete-block design. Seven soil cover treatments consisted of `Wheeler' rye (Secale cereale) and `Micah' and `Steptoe' barley (Hordium vulgare), `Micah' residue applied on soil surface, a wedge of perlite (artificial medium) placed next to strawberry row, perlite with `Wheeler' rye, and no treatment were used. During the early summer, cover crops were replanted between strawberry rows and mowed down after 6 weeks. In both cultivars, plant growth doubled during mid-summer, and `Micah'on surface produced better growth than the growth in other treatments. No significant difference was found on CO2 assimilation rate (mmol·m–2·s–1), leaflet length, and number of leaves and runners among treatments (P ≥ 0.1). Yield of `Totem' was ignored during the establishment year. In `Selva', `Micah' residue on surface produced 36% more crowns per plant and the greatest total yield than that of any other treatment. `Micah' on surface produced 50% more shoot biomass and 45% greater yield compared to `Micah' barley planted in the plot. Total `Selva' yield was 61% greater in perlite treatment than the yield in perlite with `Wheeler' rye and 31% greater than the control treatment. Comparison of `Selva' strawberry total yield and average fruit production between cover crops vs. control treatment using non-orthogonal contrast indicated no significant difference might suggests no detrimental interaction between cover crops and strawberry.

Aims: We investigated most suitable substrate (wheat and rice straw) enriched with vermicompost and their different levels (10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) for enhancing production of milky mushroom.  Study Design: The experiment was designed by following single factor Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD).  Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was conducted in a mushroom culture house to observe the growth and productivity of highly potential milky mushroom by using different vermicompost enriched substrate during March-October, 2017 Methodology: Based on the different treatment combinations the quantity of substrate and vermicompost on volume basis were used per packet with 5% spawn. Coco dust was used as casing material. After incubation, matured fruiting bodies were harvested and data were recorded on growth and yield parameters. Results: The addition of vermicompost with rice substrates improved the diameter of pelius 32-74%, thickness of pelius 26- 60%, diameter of stipe 24-55% and length of stipe 25 to 95% relative to the unsupplemented substrate. Similarly, vermicompost supplementation with wheat straw substrates increased the diameter of pelius 27-71%, thickness of pelius 11- 40%, diameter of stipes 21-56% and length of stipe 17- 72% relative to the unsupplemented substrate at any harvest. Supplementation of vermicompost reduced the duration for spawn run 11-55% in wheat straw and 11- 49%  in rice straw compared with non-supplemented one. Furthermore, pin head initiation became quicker 26- 66% in wheat straw and 15- 61% in rice straw. In addition, total number of fruiting body increased from 6- 82% in wheat straw supplemented with different doses of vermicompost, while rice straw increased total number of fruiting body ranged from 17- 39% compared to unsupplemented one. The addition of 10%, 25%, 50% and 75% levels of vermicompost with wheat straw increased the fresh yield of C. indica by 23%, 54%, 121% and 73%, respectively compared to wheat straw alone; however, similar levels of vermicompost with rice straw increased the fresh yield of C. indica by 31% , 63%, 112% and 87%, respectively compared to rice straw alone. The biological efficiency of C. indica also did exhibit significant differences ranged between 65-160% among different levels of vermicompost supplementation with rice and wheat straw substrates. Conclusion: The result revealed that increasing the vermicompost level lead to a less biological efficiency and yield, but it remains higher than the control (straw alone). It is additionally conceivable that the application of vermicompost to substrates with lower levels would provide an even better yield, without adversely affecting the bioefficiency of the harvested mushrooms. These judges, however, need more work to validate reliability.

A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of goat manure and sugarcane molasses on the growth and yield of beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) in sandy regosol. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with six treatments. The treatments included inorganic fertilizer (T1), 10 t/ha of goat manure alone (T2) and also 10 t/ha of goat manure and 50% triple superphosphate (TSP) with 1-4 t/ha of sugarcane molasses (T3-T6). The results showed that plant growth parameters (leaf length, leaf petiole length, leaf width, leaf number, fresh weight and dry weight of leaves) were significantly varied among the treatments. There was a significant difference in the diameter of beetroot among the treatments. Significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in fresh weight of beetroot and total plant among the treatments. Fresh weight of root yield and total yield of beetroot per plant were increased in 10 t/ha goat manure, 2 t/ha sugarcane molasses and 50% TSP (T4) and 10 t/ha goat manure, 3 t/ha sugarcane molasses and 50% TSP (T5) when compared to the control treatment (T1). The total yield of beetroot per m2 was 1,792.62 g in T4 and 1,402.68 g in T1. The root yield of beetroot was increased in T4 in comparison to T5. It can be concluded that 10 t/ha of goat manure with 2 t/ha of sugarcane molasses and 50% TSP could be applied for obtaining a high yield of beetroot in sandy regosol.

Pepino melon (Solanum muricatum Ait.) is an exotic vegetable whose consumption is on the increase in Kenya due to its health and nutritional benefits. A study was conducted at Egerton University, Kenya in 2018-2019 to investigate the effect of NPK fertilizer rates (0, 100, 200. 300 and 400 kg ha-1) on growth and yield of field and greenhouse grown pepino melons. The experiment was laid in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data was recorded on plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves per bush, number of branches, days to 50% flowering, fruit weight and total yield. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance with the SAS statistical package. Significant means were separated using Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference at p ≤ 0.05. Results indicated that NPK fertilizer rates and growing environment influenced growth and yield of pepino melon. At 100 DAP plants grown in the greenhouse and supplied with 200 kg NPK ha-1 had a stem diameter of 14.01 mm which was significantly bigger p ≤ 0.05 compared to those grown in the field and supplied with 300 kg NPK ha-1 with a stem diameter of 11.71 mm in trial two. Application of 300 kg NPK ha-1 for field grown pepino melons gave the highest yield of 1102.48 kg ha-1 and 1060.55 kg ha-1 in trial one and two respectively. In conclusion, application of 300 kg ha-1 of NPK fertilizer for field grown pepino melon is recommended.

Optimizing nitrogen (N) input rates for vegetable production is crucial in Florida to reducing production costs and enhancing environmental sustainability. Asian vegetables emerging and expanding in Florida not only increase profit for growers, but also enhance food diversity for consumers. The objective of this study was to gain a better understanding of the partitioning and usage of N and carbohydrates in two Asian vegetable crops: long bean (Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedalis (L.) Verdc.) and angled luffa (Luffa acutangular (L.) Roxb.). Four N rates (0, 0.91, 1.36, and 1.81 g N pot−1) were compared in a high tunnel trial to understand the influence of N fertilization on the two crops. For long bean, plant biomass was highest at the highest N input, and N-fertilized plants had significantly higher leaf greenness than the control at the flower initiation and mid-reproductive stages. However, N inputs had no apparent effect on yield, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), blade total N concentration, roots (length, volume, dry biomass, and root-to-shoot ratio), or nodules (number plant−1 and biomass). For luffa, the highest N input had significantly greater total yield, fruit number, and leaf greenness at the flower initiation and mid-reproductive stages, although there was no significant difference in shoot biomass, blade total N content, or NUE among treatments. Within the range of these N rates, our results suggest that higher N inputs promoted vegetative growth of long bean, whereas reproductive growth was promoted in luffa. This study highlights differences in the sink–source relationship of N for long bean and luffa production in high tunnel, which can guide N input decisions for these two crops that are rapidly expanding in the USA.

With the development of high yielding rice varieties, use of chemical fertilizers increased rapidly in Bangladesh. Depending on chemical fertilizer solely is not wise and maintaining soil health becomes a great concern worldwide. The purpose of the study is to know about the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizer on growth and yield of rice. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with four nutrient managements (N1= BRRI recommended fertilizer dose (N-P-K-S-Z = 117-19-58-15-4 kg ha-1), N2= 75% of BRRI recommended dose, N3= 75% of BRRI recommended dose + Decomposed poultry litter (DPL) (2.5 t ha-1) and N4= No fertilizer) in the main plots and three spacing(S1= 20 cm × 20 cm, S2= 20 cm × 15 cm and S3= 25 cm × 15 cm) in the subplots with three replications. In growth and yield characteristics, insignificant difference was found for different spacing but significant difference was found for different nutrient managements. N1 and N3 performed better than N2 and N4 in all observed characteristics. N1 and N3 gave statistically similar result in yield. The result revealed that, with the application of 2.5 t ha-1 DPL we can reduce 25% chemical fertilizer without yield reduction in rice. Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.7(1): 25-32, April 2020
