Assessing the effect of sorghum spent grain (pito mash) supplementation on the growth performance and yield of Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. ex Fr.) Kummer cultivated on cornstalks

The viability of cornstalks as a substrate for Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. ex Fr.) Kummer cultivation was studied. The effect of sorghum spent grain (pito mash), a nitrogen supplement, on growth performance and yield was also investigated. Three substrate formulae were used, viz., CSS-0 (100% cornsta...
