“…Among the different steps of production, compost (formulation, phase I and II) is thought to be one of the most important, because it directly influences the productivity and quality of the mushrooms (Horm and Ohga, 2008;Matute et al, 2010;Llarena-Hernández et al, 2013;Wang J. T. et al, 2013;Souza et al, 2014). To improve the compost process, substrate supplementation has been used to provide nutrients to the developing mushroom, reducing the cultivation cycle and increasing productivity by up to 30% .…”

The aim of this study was to analyse the viability of supplementation of Agaricus subrufescens compost with different organic materials, using three commercial strains.Compost was prepared by the traditional method and was used as a control (without supplementation). Six supplements were applied and can be separated into four categories: (i) commercial supplements (recommended to Agaricus bisporus and Pleurotus ostreatus); (ii) supplements based on agro-industrial waste (provided by peanut and acerola juice); (iii) supplements based on noble grains (a mix with bran of soybean, corn, and cotton); and (iv) a blend of supplements (ii) and (iii) (peanut waste, acerola juice waste, and noble grains-a mixture of 33.3% each). The results showed that the practice of supplementation is an important tool to improve the yield in the industrial production of A. subrufescens. Waste materials and noble grains can be selected as quality supplements. The use of appropriated strains is essential for the success of the supplementation practice.

“…In the present study, the substrate containing chicory had more effect on fruit weight and fruit number than the thyme containing substrate. Wang et al (2013) showed that the highest mushroom yield was obtained on the substrate containing asparagus straw and cottonseed hull. They stated that the reason for this observation may be due to C/N ratio.…”

“…They stated that the use of this substrate had high compatibility in soilless strawberry cultivation, also an effective and inexpensive alternative to peat (Altieri et al 2010). According to Wang et al (2013), among the four auxiliary materials (asparagus straw, maize straw, cottonseed hull, and bean straw), maize straw was desirable for the enhancement of polysaccharides contents and cottonseed hull and bean straw were more helpful to the enhancement of mushroom yield.…”

This experiment was conducted in a greenhouse to study the effect of herbal waste substrate as local substrate in cucumber (Cucumis sativus cv. Zomorod) production. Treatments (100) as control. The experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with 5 replications. The results showed that fruit number and fruit weight were more (about 54% and 65%, respectively) in C25:PR25:P50 treatment than that in the control. Also, the highest leaves number, shoot length, shoot fresh and dry weights, and root fresh and dry weights were observed in this treatment (C25:PR25:P50). The highest K, Ca, Mg, Mn, and Fe contents were obtained in C50:PR50 treatment. Zn and Cu significantly increased in C25:PR25:P50 treatment. In general, substrate containing chicory was more effective than substrate containing thyme. As comparison among all the substrates, substrate containing chicory, C25:PR25:P50 had a significant effect on growth and yield, and C50:PR50 was more effective than the other substrate on nutrient element concentrations.

“…Now days, an increasing number of studies have been published concerning the biological activities of polysaccharides from low-valued agricultural industry [1][2][3]. Researchers of corn have increased because of its uses as adhesive, thicker and stabilizer [4] and a film former and emulsifier [5][6][7].…”
