Evaluation of growth and production of Pleurotus Ostreatus on different organic residues in the department of Huila

Abstract

This research study develops a Pleurotus Ostreatus cropping based on four types of substrates prepared with solid waste: sugarcane husk, sawdust, coffee husks, and hay. This study considers the fruition time and the biological efficiency. The main objective is to determine the rate of return of the orellanas corp, and establish if it is financially favorable, and contribute to the mitigation of the environmental issues caused by agro-industrial waste. As a result, the substrate based on hay indicated adequate fruition periods, with a higher return than the other substrates, it showed a biological efficiency of 37.26%. The substrates based on sugarcane husk, sawdust, coffee husks indicated the best fruition periods. The rest of the substrates showed a minimum biological efficiency.
