Growth and yield of pleurotus ostreatus by using sugarcane bagasse as an alternative substrates in Malaysia

The utilization of low value agro-industrial wastes as a valuable end products has become a key research priority in the recent past. At present, in Malaysia, the commercial cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus utilize sawdust from rubber tree (RS) as the base substrate. However. the high demand of ru...
