RIVERA OMEN, RUBY LEONOR; MARTINEZ MAMIAN, CARLOS AUGUSTO  y  MORALES VELASCO, SANDRA. EVALUATION OF AGRICULTURAL WASTE AS SUBSTRATE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF Pleurotus ostreatus. Luna Azul [online]. 2013, n.37, pp.89-100. ISSN 1909-2474.

The cultivation of fungi of the genus Pleurotus sp. is of importance because they produce high quality protein on a substrate consisting of lignocellulosic IN waste materials. The objective was to evaluate the use of agricultural residues: potato peels, banana and sugarcane pulp, as an alternative protein in the village of Llacuanas, municipality of Almaguer (Cauca). The experimental design was completely randomized with four treatments and five replicates per treatment in which physical variables (color and texture) and production (Colonization, weight and diameter) were considered. The analysis of variance showed statistically significant differences for weight and diameter; the Duncan post hoc test showed that the best treatments were 1 and 2 (sugarcane pulp, banana peel, corn bran and agricultural lime), substrates consisting of structural carbohydrates that promote the growth of the mushroom.

Palabras clave : Mushrooms; seed; inoculation; structural carbohydrates.
