Feasibility of Agrocybe cylindracea Cultivation in Bachieng District, Champasack Province, Lao PDR

Abstract

Experiment on feasibility to Cultivation Agrotype cylindracea (brown variety) in Bachieng District, Champasack Province, Lao PDR. The objective of this experiment was to determine the optimal substrates for yield A. cylindracea. The experiment was comprised seven treatments were 100% rubber sawdust, 100% straw, 100% coffee bark, 50% rubber sawdust mixed 50% straw, 50% rubber sawdust mixed 50% coffee bark, 50% straw mixed 50% coffee bark and 33.33% rubber sawdust mixed 33.33% straw and 33.33% coffee bark. The results were showed three substrates (100% rubber sawdust, 100% straw and 50% rubber sawdust mixed 50% straw) can yield A. cylindracea as well as when added 100% rubber sawdust was displayed appropriate substrate for yield A. cylindracea as high as 49.42 g (p<0.01) and it is significantly showed lowest contamination was 24.28% (p<0.01).
