Abstract

Improving yield, biological efficiency (BE) and number of pinhead formation in Pleurotusflorida where achieved by nutritional supplement addition and use of casing overlay to substrate. In the present study utilization of soybean meal at two levels (2.5%- 5 % dry substrate weight) and Hogland solution (Hogland, ½ Hogland) without the use or with avail of casing overlay to substrate and with control substrate were evaluated.
