Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of different nitrogen source such as Wheat bran, Urea, and Moringa leaves on the yield of Oyster mushroom and also to estimate the biological efficiency of Oyster mushroom cultivated on the substrate. Grain spawn was prepared using sorghum. Wheat bran, Urea and Moringa leaves were added to the treated waste paper in the following percentage, 2.5 %, 5 %, 7.5 %, 10 % and 12.5 %. The mycelium run, primordia initiation, pilus diameter and stripe length were determined. Also, the average total yield and biological efficiency analyzed using standard methods. The fastest mycelium run (8.80 days), primordia initiation (11.80 days), and highest pilus diameter (4.30 cm) were observed in 7.5 % moringa, and unsupplemented substrate gave the slowest mycelium run. The stipe length was lowest in substrate supplemented with 12.5 % Urea (1.52 cm), and 5 % moringa gave the longest value (9.64 cm). The highest yield (240.00g) and biological efficiency (80.13%) were obtained in 7.5% wheat bran, and the lowest output (90.00 g) and biological efficiency (32.60%) observed in 12.5 % urea supplementation. The result predicts the commercial production of good oyster mushroom on waste paper substrate supplemented with 7.5% wheat bran and 7.5% moringa leaves.
