Method for making compost
To make compost, paddy straw has to be soaked and after a day, DAP, urea, potash, wheat bran, gypsum and carbofuran are added to it and it is left to rot. After about one and a half months, the compost is ready. Now, after mixing cow dung and soil in equal amounts, a one and a half inch thick layer is spread and a two-three inch thick layer of compost is placed on it. To maintain moisture in it, mushrooms are sprayed with a spray two to three times a day. A one-two inch layer of compost is placed on top of it. And in this way, mushroom production begins.
Take training in mushroom cultivation
Training for mushroom cultivation is given in all agricultural universities and agricultural research centers. If you are planning to cultivate it on a large scale, it would be better to get proper training once. If we talk about space, then 10 kg of mushrooms can be easily produced per square meter. Mushrooms can be grown by making three-foot wide racks in a space of at least 40×30 feet.
