Deciphering the role of moringa leaf powder as a supplement in the cotton waste substrate for the growth and nutrition of king oyster mushroom
Abstract
The effect of moringa leaf powder (MLP) was studied on king oyster mushroom as a substrate. MLP increased yield, biological efficiency and number of fruiting bodies. MLP enhanced proximate mineral composition and nutraceutical compounds. MLP could be considered suitable supplementing material in cotton waste substrate for king oyster mushroom.
