Gaurav Tyagi, Parveen Garg

Abstract :

 Mushroom cultivation is an emerging trend in small scale industries. Many MSME’s are actively engage in their production. It is becoming a trend for the rural entrepreneurs to invest in its production. The major constraints that industry faces ranges from high cost of compost, low yields and unavailability of uniform quality manures in the local market. Here we have used a mixture of Maize Powder, Rice Bran and Mustard Cake at 30% in the ratio of 1:1:1 along with the saw dust. The use of this mixture significantly increased the production of button mushroom i.e. Agaricus bisporus. This method can be adopted for large scale cultivation.
