Abstract: Studies were carried to find out the different doses of spawn and age of spawn on the production of new strain IGKVm-11 of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sp.) was studied. Higher dose of spawn was found to be suitable for obtaining higher yield of new strain IGKVm-11 of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sp.) on paddy straw substrate compared to lower rate of spawning and 38 and 18 days old spawn found more suitable for obtaining higher yield of new strain IGKVm-11 of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sp.) on paddy straw substrate.
Keywords: Pleurotus sp.; paddy straw; doses of spawn; age of spawn; yield
