Abstract :
The study was conducted in an average
temperature of 27 0C. Objectives were to determine the
yield performance of oyster mushroom using different
substrates and substrates’ combination; to determine if
there is a significant difference on the yield
performance of oyster mushroom using different
substrates and substrates’ combination; and to identify
which of the different substrates and their combination
performs best in oyster mushroom production. The
experiment was laid out using Completely Randomized
Design (CRD) with an area of 30m2
. Four treatments
were used and replicated five times. Sawdust, corn cob
and rice straw were the substrates used in this study.
Treatments were: T1 (100% rice straw), T2 (100% corn
cob), T3 (100% sawdust), and T4 (33.33% rice straw +
33.33% corn cob + 33.33% sawdust). Results of the
study showed that there was a highly significant
difference on the average number and total number of
oyster mushroom during the first harvest. However, the
average weight and total weight of oyster mushroom
were not significantly different. The average number,
average weight, total number, and total weight were not
significantly different during the second to fifth harvest.
Based on the results of the study, the adoption of T3 to
obtain more number of oyster mushroom per fruiting
bag per treatment is highly recommended to improve
the production in the locality.
