Abstract

As agricultural wastes are easily accessible and quite free sources, re-use of them could be considered as a break through in production management, especially if it sustains the production efficiency as standard materials do. In this study, we evaluated combination usage of five substrates viz., Cottonseed hulls, Wheat straw (WS), Sugarcane bagasses (SB), Sunflower stalks (SFS) and Rice straw, collected from agriculture field of Haryana. The substrates showed better Biological efficiency (BE), when used in combination as compared to alone. The mixture of chopped wheat straw and cotton seed hulls (in ratio of 3:1) with 1% ground limestone was the best combinational substrate among all combination which showed 105.9% biological efficiency for P djamor and 87.76% for P florida. © 2013 Internet Scientific Publications, LLC.
