Application of spent Agaricus subrufescens compost in integrated production of seedlings and plants of tomato

Abstract: Purpose Spent mushroom compost (SMC) is a major solid waste product of the mushroom industry and is the material which remains at the end of a mushroom crop. Methods Different proportions of the SMC from Agaricus subrufescens cultivation were tested to produce seedlings and plants of tomato. A commercial substrate was used, both as a control and in combination with the spent compost in different proportions. So two experiments were carried out, the first was the production and evaluation of tomato seedlings an… Show more

“…The total fresh weight of the tomato fruit per plant was lower than the result of the study by Lopes et al (2015) using 100% of spent compost of almond mushroom (Agaricus subrufescens). A study conducted by Hernandez et al (2014), showed the lower yields observed in the soils treated only with compost is probably due to nutrient limitation, mainly N. Combination use of organic and mineral fertilization improved the effect on yield compared to the use of mineral fertilization alone, although differences were not always statistically significant.…”

“…However, Silva et al (2012) observed a reduction in DQI in the tomato cultivar (Santa Clara) when carbonized rice hulls were added, which did not serve as a nutrient source but only a reflecting the better results obtained for NL and SH. Lopes et al (2015) also reported greater SH for tomato seedlings produced on SMS of A. subrufescens.…”

“…However, the aerial dry mass was greater for SMS, directly The seedlings produced in the SMS of A. bisporus presented productivity 20% higher than the seedlings produced in the commercial substratum Carolina II ® (Figure 2). Lopes et al (2015), also achieved better production results with tomato seedlings produced in SMS of A. subrufescens when compared to the seedlings produced in the commercial substrate Bioplant.…”

“…The Pleurotus mushrooms are nutritionally and gastronomically important (Sarangi et al 2006;Valverde et al 2015). In addition, mushroom spent substrate can be potentially utilized in crop organic production (Lopes et al 2015).…”
