Effect of Inoculum levels, Seasons and Temperature on the Sporophore Production of Pleurotus sajor-caju. (Fr.) Singer

Abstract

The effect of inoculum during north-east monsoon (October-November) and summer (May-Jnno) on the yield of pleurotus sajor-caju (Fr-) Singer was studied. The yield of sporo- phore during the north-east monsoon period was more than that obtained during the summer season. It was interesting that the maximum yield of sporophore obtained with 300 g of spawn during summer was obtained with just 100 g of spawn during north-east monsoon. Increase in inoculum level resulted in an increase of higher yield of sporophores.
