EFFECT OF HEAPING AND BAGGING METHODS OF SUBSTRATE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF OYSTER MUSHROOM IN UNIVERSITY OF UYO AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION SKILL ACQUISITION FARM
ABSTRACT
The study investigated the effect of heaping and bagging methods of substrate on the performance of oyster mushrooms in university of Uyo Agricultural Education Skill Acquisition Farm. The study compared the effects of heaping and bagging methods of substrate on the growth performance of oyster mushroom based on: weight and height. The study adopted an experimental research design. The population of the study consisted of 100 substrate bagging method and 100 substrate heaping method. The sample size of 25 substrate bagging and 25 substrate heaping methods were randomly selected. To assess the weight and height, weighing scale and graduated meter rule were used to measure the effect. The instrument was subjected to a validity test. Mean was used for answering of the research questions and independent t-test for testing the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that there is significant effect of bagging and heaping methods of substrate on growth performance of Oyster Mushroom based on Weight and Height. It was recommended among others that Farmers and mushroom growers should adopt bagging methods of substrate as part of their cultivation practices, since they have been proven to significantly improve the weight of oyster mushrooms, thereby ensuring better yield and profitability.
