| dc.description.abstract | Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is the substrate left after harvesting of mushrooms. Experiment was conducted to study the effect of oyster mushrooms spent substrate on Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) inoculum production. Hypsizygous ulmarius showed significantly higher yield and bio-efficiency. Hypsizygous ulmarius spent substrate shown higher nutrient content and narrow C: N ratio. Two oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus eous and Hypsizygus ulmarius) spent substrates were incorporated to pots with sterilized sand: soil as substrate and another set with unsterilized sand: soil as a substrate with AM fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomus fasciculatum. Sorghum was used as a host plant. Both the SMS were found to enhance mycorrhizal associations like percent root colonization and AM spores in substrate. Among the two SMS, Hypsizygus ulmarius SMS significantly increased number of spores and percent root colonization of Glomus fasciculatum compared to Pleurotus eous SMS. Increased mycorrhizal association characteristics was there in sterilized substrate compared to in unsterilized substate. The effect of oyster mushroom spent substrate and AM fungi with and without recommended dose of phosphorus in Finger millet, showed higher plant growth parameters like plant height, number of leaves, fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots in plants with H. ulmarius SMS and G. fasciculatum with RD of P. Plants with H. ulmarius and G. fasciculatum with RD of P showed higher uptake of N, P, K and Zn. Increased mycorrhizal associations like number of spores and per cent root colonization were found in plants with H. ulmarius SMS and G. fasciculatum | en_US |
