Abstract
This study was carried to investigate efficient pot diameter and substrate weight in pot cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus. Cultivating substrate was pine sawdust+beet pulp+cotten seed flour (50 : 30 : 20, v/v). Ranges of pot diameter and substrate weight were $10{\sim}20\;cm\;and\;600{\sim}2,500\;g/pot$, respectively. Smaller pot diameter resulted in longer pot length according to increasing substrate weight, so mycelial growth period and total cultivation period was retarded. Wider pot diameter resulted in a little lower biological efficiency in the same substrate weight. Heavier substrate weight was brought higher yield but lower biological efficiency. Average yield according to pot diameter was decreased at wider than 14 cm during second flush. And average biological efficiency according to substrate weight was lower than 100% at heavier than 1,200 g/pot during second flush. So suitable pot diameter and substrate weight in pot cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus were estimated $10{\sim}14\;cm\;and\;800{\sim}1,200\;g$, respectively.
느타리버섯 봉지 재배의 봉지직경 및 배지량에 따른 생육특성을 비교하여 효율적인 봉지규격을 추정하고자 미송톱밥, 비트펄프, 면실박을 부피비로 50 : 30 : 20으로 혼합한 배지로 봉지 직경 $10{\sim}20\;cm$, 배지량 $600{\sim}2,500\;g$/봉지 범위에서 시험 한 결과 봉지직경이 작을수록 배지량이 많아짐에 따라 배지길이가 길어져 배양일수가 지연되었고 이에 따라 총재배기간이 길었다. 또한 2주기까지의 수량은 같은 봉지직경에서 배지량이 클수록 증가하였고 배지량이 1,200 g/봉지보다 많으면 생물학적효율은 감소하여 100% 보다 낮았으며, 같은 배지량에서 봉지 직경에 따른 수량은 큰 차이 없으나 회수율은 봉지직경이 14 cm 보다 크면 감소하였다. 따라서 재배기간, 수량, 생물학적효율 등을 고려한 효율적인 봉지직경은 $10{\sim}14\;cm$, 배지량 $800{\sim}1,200\;g$/봉지 내외로 추정되었다.
