Abstract:A number of experiments were done to further our understanding of the substrate utilization in button mushroom crops (Agaricus bisporus). An analysis of the degradation of dry matter of the substrate during a crop cycle revealed that for pin formation the upper layer is used, for the production of flush one all layers are involved and for flush two mainly the lower layer is used. A reduction in substrate depth leads to a decrease in yield/m2 but an apparent increase in yield per ton of substrate but with a low… Show more
