Mechanism of Pleurotus Ostreatus (Oyster Mushroom) cultivation on Various Lignocellulosic wastes using empty fruit bunch, palm press fibre and corncob

The utilization of low value agro-industrial waste as valuable end product has become a key research priority in the recent years. Currently, the commercial cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus using sawdust from rubber tree as the base substrate in Malaysia has been reported. However, the price and d...
