Utilization from Agricultural Waste Material in Local for Straw Mushroom Cultivation Material

Abstract

This research aimed to study the utilization of local agricultural waste materials as straw mushroom cultivation materials. An experiment was arranged in a completely random design (CRD) with 6 treatments and 4 replications, 100% were 1) rice straw, 2) 100% banana leaves, 3) 50% rice straw + 50% water hyacinth, 4) 50% banana leaves + 50% water hyacinth, 5) 50% rice straw + 50% spent mushroom sawdust, 6) 50% rice straw + 50% bagasses and was conducted during March−May. The experiment found that 50% rice straw material mixed with 50% water hyacinth was a very good density of fiber growth. The width of the mushroom was significantly different (p<0.05), 50% rice straw material + 50% water hyacinth with the highest average of 3.38 cm, the length of the mushroom was significantly different (p<0.05), 50% rice straw + 50% water hyacinth had the highest mean of 5.49 cm, the fresh weight of straw mushroom was significantly different (p<0.05), 50% rice straw material + 50% water hyacinth with an average maximum of 2,105±0.86 g and the biological efficiency (B.E.) was significantly different (p<0.05), 50% rice straw + 50% water hyacinth the highest average 14.88%. The suitable cultivation material, followed by 50% rice straw + 50% water hyacinth with an average fresh weight of 1,842.00 g and an average biological efficiency of 12.89%
