Abstract

Sustainable agricultural development requires a systematic effort towards the planning of land use activities in the most appropriate way, apart from several other institutional and policy programmed initiative. Remote sensing can provide valuable and timely information about natural resources and environment as an important basis for sustainable development. Geographic information systems (GIS) can provide effective tools for decision makers. Both RS and GIS techniques are important geometric tools which are extensively utilized in developed countries. This technology is also used for land use planning and soil mapping. Modern tools such as satellite remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) have been providing newer dimensions to effectively monitor and manage land uses in an integrated manner for agricultural characterization. Remote sensor and G.I.S. is an excellent tool that is increasingly important in the detection, description, quantification and monitoring environmental changes is remote sensing, which, in combination with geographic information systems and fieldwork, is an effective management tool.

Abstract

In recent years the mushroom technology has traveled far a head. The domestication of various mushroom species has been tried globally. Many of which are now commercially cultivated for food as well as medicinal purposes for an amateur and professional cultivator. The production of mushroom has become important factor, which does not promote the growers. The important priority of profession is to maximize the production of mushroom by using various techniques. Extract of certain weeds, viz., Argemone maxicana, Cannabis sativa, Ageratum conyzoides, Parthenium hysterophorus and Calotropis procera were tested for better production of oyster mushroom Pleurotus Florida. Among these Parthenium hysterophorus (977 g, 97.7%), Cannabis sativa (882 g, 88.2%), Ageratum conyzoides (860 g, 86.0%) extract were proved most significant in terms of yield and biological efficiency of mushroom.

Keywords

Weed Extract, Biological Efficiency and Pleurotus florida.

Abstract

In recent years the mushroom technology has traveled far a head. The domestication of various mushroom species has been tried globally, many of which are now commercially cultivated for food as well as medicinal purposes for an amateur and professional cultivator. The production of mushroom has become important factor, which does not promote the growers. The important priority of profession is to maximize the production of mushroom by using various techniques. Different concentration of carbon sources i.e. lactose (1.0%, 2.0% and 3.0%), nitrogen sources i.e. peptone (1.0%, 2.0% and 3.0%), inorganic chemicals i.e. Mgso₄ (1.0%, 2.0% and 3.0%), vitamin sources i.e. vit. B-complex (100, 200 and 300 mg/l) and growth promoter i.e. EDTA (0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3%) were screened to determine the most suitable concentration for better yield of Pleurotus sajor caju. Three lignocellulosic agricultural waste material i.e. wheat straw, paddy straw and leman grass straw used for cultivation of Pleurotus sajor caju It was found that carbon source and inorganic chemical gave maximum yield and biological efficiency in 2.0% concentration in wheat straw. On that basis lactose and Mgso₄ were proved superior carbon source and inorganic chemical, respectively. peptone, the semisolid protein as nitrogen source gave maximum yield and biological efficiency in 3.0% concentration in lemon grass straw while in case of growth promoter it was observed maximum in 0.2% concentration in wheat straw. vitamin B-complex gave maximum yield and biological efficiency in 300-mg/l concentrations in wheat straw, among the three lignocellulosic agricultural wastes material used as substrate, best growth and high yield of Pleurotus sajor caju was obtained in wheat straw.
