Boost Mushroom Production: Saharsa Expert Reveals Scientific Compost Method

• Hevan Yadav, a mushroom expert from Saharsa, emphasizes the importance of a scientifically prepared compost bed for high yields and quality mushroom production.
• The process begins with selecting clean, dry organic matter, straw, and chaff, then gradually adding water to achieve balanced moisture (damp but not dripping).
• The mixture is spread, turned 2-3 times for even moisture distribution, and then essential nutrients like bran, urea, DAP, and calcium are added in balanced quantities.
• The prepared mixture is piled and turned 10-12 times, with careful attention to maintaining correct temperature and moisture for rapid, uniform fungal development.
• Properly prepared compost beds, with adequate turning and balanced temperature, significantly improve both the quantity and quality of mushrooms, ensuring durability.

Why It Matters: A scientifically prepared compost bed, with balanced moisture, nutrients, and temperature, is key to boosting mushroom production.
