Cultivo de Pleurotus sobre residuos de las cosechas de jamaica (Hibiscus sabdariffa) y plátano (Musa paradisiaca)

Two strains of Pleurotus ostreatus and P. pulmonarius were cultivated on dry stems of jamaica (Hibiscus sabdariffa) (SJ) pure and mixed with rice straw in ratio 2:1 (SJS), pseudostem with fresh leaves of banana (Musa paradisiaca) (PFB). The highest productivity was obtained on the substrate PFB, reaching biological efficiencies (BE) of 96.4 and 99.8%, and yield (Y) of 14.9 and 15.4%. In the other substrates the parameters fluctuated between 64.5 to 81.7% (BE), and 20.0 to 22.3% (Y).
