dc.description.abstractFallen areca leaves, areca bunch waste and dried arecanut husk are the major byproducts of areca cultivation, which are available in large quantities in the areca growing areas of India. Studies were conducted to standardize the method of pasteurization of these substrates for Pleurotus sajor-caju cultivation during summer and rainy seasons. The average yield of fresh mushrooms obtained in 3 flushes on areca leaf sheath and areca bunch waste was the highest in the treatment formalin 500 ppm+carbendazim 25 ppm in both summer and rainy seasons. The average yield on leaf sheath was 325.7g (BE 40.46%) and 651g (BE 69.75%) and on areca bunch waste it was 524g (BE 56.17%) and 594g (BE 61.53%) during summer and rainy seasons respectively. The yield was highest in the treatment formalin 500ppm + carbendazim 12.5ppm when areca whole leaf (leaf along with sheath) was used as substrate. The cultivation period varied with the seasons. Thus, chemical sterilization technique has been found to be an ideal and suitable method of substrate preparation. The yield obtained on arecanut husk was very poor in all the treatments tried.en_US
