Effect of Nitrogen Supplementation additives at Casing on the Productivity and Quality of the mushroom Agaricus bisporus
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to assay the effect of the separate supplementation with 1, 3 and 5% of (Erbil Feed, WAFI HOLAND, Lysine, Methionine, Ammonium Chloride and Calcium Nitrate) at casing on the productivity and quality of the mushroom Agaricus bisporus. Results indicated a significant increase in total production and biological efficiency. with treatment of 1% Erbil Feed. When total production increased from 21.68 kg / m2 in the control to 23.20 kg / m2 with this supplement. While the biological efficiency was increased from 72.26% to 77.33% with the same supplement. Treatment 1% of Erbil Feed was also recorded earliest production reached at 16 days after casing than controls at 18 days. The qualitative traits of 3% Methionine has recorded higher of total antioxidants contents at 1975 µg/ g dry weight comparison with control, which was 1572 µg/ g dry weight, as well as recording the 3% of Erbil Feed gave a higher protein contents 36.85% compared to the control treatment 22.36 %.
