Study with oyster mushrooms viz., Pleurotus florida, P. sajorcaju, P. eous, P. tuber-regium and Hypsizygus ulmarius revealed that the nutritional value of these mushrooms can be increased significantly when grown on paddy straw supplemented with organic amendments such as rice bran, neem cake, dry azolla, vermiwash and dry biogas slurry. In addition to increased yield, the organic supplements significantly increase thecrude protein, total free aminoacid, total carbohydrate and nutrients like N,P and K in oyster mushrooms. Nutrient content of the mushrooms varied with different concentrations of organic amendments used. In P. florida, H. ulmarius and P.tuber-regium paddy straw amended with dry azolla gave higher amount of crude protein content (35.4, 35.3 and 34.9, respectively). Paddy straw amended with dry azolla at 4 per cent, 6 per cent and 5 per cent, respectively recorded the maximum total free aminoacid in P. florida (0.6%), P. sajor-caju (0.43%) and H. ulmarius (0.56%). The major nutrient elements like N, P and K content also increased with addition of organic amendments.Thus, it is concluded from the study that supplementation of rice straw with rice bran, Neem cake, dry azolla, vermiwash and dry biogas slurry has strong impact in improving the crude protein, total free aminoacid, total carbohydrate and essential mineral nutrients such as N, P and Kcontent of oyster mushrooms.","PeriodicalId":14349,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plant Protection","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91276427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The G. sorghi isolates differed significantly from each other on the basis of pathological attributes viz., latent period, aggressiveness and virulence index and thus, grouped into three virulence categories. The findings suggest that analysis of variance for latent, aggressiveness, per cent disease intensity (PDI) and virulence index showed that the variations in latent period and virulence disease reaction were attributed more to the isolates and aggressiveness to the host lines than to the isolate × host line interactions.","PeriodicalId":14349,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plant Protection","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85666138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
