“…The impact of a 100% rate of SMS and a 50% rate of SMS + 50% NPK was at a similar level (it was significantly higher than in the case of 100% NPK fertilization and manure fertilization) [8]. Positive effects of SMS on chamomile yield have also been reported by Afagh et al [43].…”

“…Dunbar et al [49] also proved SMS to have a beneficial effect on the properties of tomatoes through improvements in their firmness and ascorbic acid content. Kwiatkowski et al [8] and Afagh et al [43], in turn, found an increased essential oil content in chamomile raw material, as affected by SMS fertilization. Ashrafi et al [38] obtained more favorable quality and health-promoting parameters of tomatoes under the influence of SMS fertilization.…”

This experiment was designed to determine the effect of spent mushroom substrate, farmyard manure, and mineral fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium on the yield and quality of raw material obtained from two cultivars (“Słoneczko” and “De Dolj”) of common thyme. Unfertilized plots with thyme crops were included as the control treatment. Different row spacings (30 cm and 40 cm) represented the second experimental factor. The highest total yield of thyme raw material was found in the treatment with mineral NPK fertilization, but also in the treatments where spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and mineral NPK fertilization were applied at a ratio of 50:50%. Fertilization with SMS alone (100%) yielded smaller production effects, but they were higher than in the case of fertilization with manure. The high suitability of spent mushroom substrate applied alone or supplemented with mineral fertilization at different rates in spring was confirmed by the best quality parameters and antioxidant properties of the raw material. The use of a wider row spacing (40 cm) resulted in a higher yield of thyme raw material than in the case of a narrower one (30 cm). The narrower row spacing significantly positively affected some of the analyzed quality parameters of the harvested raw material, such as: essential oil content, polyphenol content, and antioxidant activity. The thyme cultivar “Słoneczko” proved to be absolutely more beneficial in terms of yield quantity and quality than the foreign cultivar “De Dolj”.

“…These believed with [53] they showed that use of spent mushroom compost in growing agricultural yields improved maintainable agriculture or creation of food yields. Afagh et al [40] showed that absorption of K improved pointedly by collective of SMC percentage in growing media but there was no significant difference in N and P uptake in SMC usages [40].…”

“…The dual effect of spray + soil treatment of SME gave the best chlorophyll a with Sakha 4, while soil treatment with SME alone gave the best chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll content with Sakha 4 (16.29, 12.30 and 28.6), respectively. [40] showed that SMC humic acid had a positive effect on growth parameters and photosynthetic pigments. The positive effect of humic acid and polysaccharides on photosynthetic pigments could be attributed to an increased in CO 2 assimilation and photosynthetic rate [41].…”

“…Alternatively, increasing harvest and 100 seed dry weight may be as a result of the potassium's role of stimulating the enzyme doings and enhancing the translocation of integrates and protein production as affirmed by [48,49]. SMC humic acid had a helpful effect on photosynthetic pigments, seed harvest, and harvest components, as well as some biochemical constituents of the, yielded faba bean seeds [40]. These increases might be because of the role of humic acid in swelling rubisco enzyme motion and then improved the photosynthetic commotion of plants and its profit [42].…”

Microbial extracts are eco-friendly and reduce threats effects of chemical fertilizers in the agricultural field. Rice straw used for of Pleurotus ostreatus (an edible fungus) production. The residual spent mushroom (SM) was extracted in alkaline medium (with 0.5 M Potassium hydroxide) and the obtained extract was assayed for carbohydrates, reducing sugar, organic acids and NPK-content. In vitro, the ability of these extracts to support the growth of beneficial microorganisms (Azospirillium sp, Azotobacer, Bacillus subtilis, Enterobacter cloacae and Trichoderma sp.) were evaluated. Spent mushroom extracts (SME) used for improving faba bean production in this proposal. Faba bean cultivars Sakha 4 and Misr 3 were conducted during two winter seasons; pots (2017-2018) and field experiment (2018-2019) at Agricultural Research Center, Sakha Agriculture Research Station, Kafrelsheikh, Egypt. The SME was applied with three methods (Spry, soil amendments and mixed of spry + soil amendment). The results revealed that the 10% w/v SME is rich with polysaccharide, reducing sugar, organic acids (Humic acid, Oxalic acid, Citric acid, Lactic acid, Ascorbic acid, Maleic acid, Formic acid, Salsylic acid) in addition NPK and microelements. It was also able to support the logarithmic growth of the previous beneficial microorganisms with (4.7, 3.8, 5.4 and 3.85 cfu ml-1), respectively while Azotobacter was not able to grow in this media. The experiments results shown that SME enhanced the vegetative growth (plant length, number of branches, number and dry weight of nodules, grain yield, and weight of 100 grain) and chemical composition (NPK) of treated plants compared with untreated ones.
