Growth and yield of Pleurotus Ostreatus using sugarcane bagasse as an alternative substrate in Malaysia

This paper looks at the feasibility of using sugarcane bagasse (SGB) for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushrooms) as an alternative for rubber tree sawdust (RS). Three different compositions of oil palm trunk and rubber tree sawdust were studied with each composition having three re...
