more nitrogen use efficiency in crops is important for maintaining and developing sustainable agriculture. in order to study the effect of different levels of mushroom compost and different resource of nitrogen on yield, yield attributes and nitrogen use efficiency of wheat (triticum aestivum l.), an experiment was conducted at faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, durin...

introduction during the last decades interest in organic production of seed specially for medicinal plants take into consideration because of higher quality of organic products (hermes, 2010). seed germination is one of the principal stages in the plant life cycle and seeds with higher quality and vigour resulted in more pronounced seedlings growth and development. therefore, investigation of a...

abstract in composting process for the white button mushroom, in addition to chemical reactions of complex compounds present in straw, which provide simple compounds for the mushroom, thermophilic microorganisms, having accumulated n2 and inorganic matter during the composting processes, offer the microbial biomass as a secondary nutritional source to be consumed by the fungus agaricus bisporus...

Edible mushrooms are renowned for their nutritional and medicinal properties and are thus of considerable commercial importance. Mushroom production depends on the chemical composition of the basic substrates and additional supplements employed in the compost as well as on the method of composting. In order to minimise the cost of mushroom production, considerable interest has been shown in the...

Biosphere is a store house of various microorganisms that may be employed to isolate and exploit microbes for environmental, pharmaceutical, agricultural and industrial applications. There is restricted data regarding the structure and dynamics of microbial communities in several ecosystems because only a little fraction of microbial diversity is accessible by culture methods. Owing to limitati...

Three compost formulations, consisting of two varieties of Cynodom dactylon (L.) Pers. (Coast-cross and Tyfton) and oat (Avena sativa) straw were tested for the cultivation of A. bisporus strains ABI-01/01, ABI-04/02, ABI-05/03, and ABI-06/04. A completely randomized experimental design in a factorial scheme was adopted, with 12 treatments (4 A. bisporus strains × 3 types of compost) and 8 repl...

Cropping trials were carried out with mushroom compost supplemented at casing and at spawning. Protein-rich organic substrates, some of which were formaldehydeand/or heat-treated, were used as supplements. Mushroom production could be increased significantly, both by supplementation at spawning and supplementation at casing. Results were compared to production figures obtained by using the comm...

A strain of the common mushroom Agaricus campestris was grown on a mixture of composted sawdust and CaCO(3). On incubation for 47 days, the organism produced 20.5 g of oxalic acid per 100 g of initial dry compost solids.

Stewart, C. J. (1974). Thorax, 29, 252-257. Mushroom worker's lung-two outbreaks. The clinical picture, immunological findings, and working environment of six mushroom farm workers who developed the characteristic features of mushroom worker's lung while handling pasteurized compost are reported and discussed. A specific antigen has not been identified. The sporadic occurrence of the condition ...
