摘要:Mushroom cultivation is one of the most important steps in diversification of agriculture. Milky mushroom (Calocybeindica) is a tropical edible mushroom, popular because of its good nutritive value and it can be cultivated commercially on large scale. Generally, by creating controlled environment in rooms mushroom cultivation is taken up, In traditional method it is typical to manage the atmospheric temperature and humidity in desired range, which can be maintained easily in greenhouse by automatic control system.Cultivation of milky mushroom in greenhouse was taken up in controlled environment under three different conditions of controlled temperature and relative humidity (RH). The experimental conditions are 28°C and 79% RH, 24°C and 84% RH and 32°C and 72%RH. The yield obtained was found maximum at 24°C temperature and 84% relative humidity when compared with the other two greenhouse environment conditions. The yield from the mushroom cultivation under controlled environmental conditions in greenhouse was found to be high when compared with the conventional practice. It was concluded that, the mushroom cultivation yields high under controlled greenhouse conditions and also economical compared to the conventional method.
