Sugar production in Vietnam plays an important role in the agriculture and creating a plenty sugarcane bagasse source (SCB). SCB is reused in various industries. In this study, we deployed SCB potential in Pleurotus sajor-caju (P. sajor-caju) mushroom cultivation and evaluated the combination between SCB and sawdust served as raw substrates to increase the yield of mushroom cultivation. | Tạp chí Khoa học Công nghệ và Thực phẩm 18 2 2019 12-18 SUGARCANE POTENTIAL IN Pleurotus sajor-caju CULTIVATION Truong Thi Dieu Hien Ho Chi Minh City University of Food Industry Email god2103truong@ Received 10 March 2019 Accepted for publication 24 May 2019 ABSTRACT Sugar production in Vietnam plays an important role in the agriculture and creating a plenty sugarcane bagasse source SCB . SCB is reused in various industries. In this study we deployed SCB potential in Pleurotus sajor-caju P. sajor-caju mushroom cultivation and evaluated the combination between SCB and sawdust served as raw substrates to increase the yield of mushroom cultivation. Results showed that the ratio of SCB to sawdust 3 1 generated higher body fruits and bio-efficiency. Furthermore this ratio showed shorter time for crops with cheaper materials and higher profit as compared to other combinations. These results premise SCB utilization in mushroom cultivation reuse available materials and protect the environment. Keywords Pleurotus sajor-caju sugarcane bagasse rubber sawdust bio-efficiency profits. 1. INTRODUCTION The agricultural sector employs seventy percentage of Vietnam population and therefore it generates huge amount of agricultural wastes 1 . Many types of wastes potentially serve as materials for other industries 2 3 . Therefore new findings for agricultural wastes utilization are urgently necessary. Cane for sugar production is widely cropped in Vietnam and creates abundant source for biofuel animal feeding paper or board making 2-5 . Recently sugarcane bagasse SCB is used for further purposes such as dietary fiber rich products fish culture poultry industry 6-9 . Furthermore nutrients in SCB are also believed to fit mushroom cultivation 3 10 . SCB shows itself profit in mushroom production as compared to paddy or mustard straw or corncob and sawdust 11 12 . Therefore reusing SCB in mushroom production might be a great potential and partly limit agricultural wastes as well.
