Abstract: An experiment of cultivation of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) was conducted on three different substrates namely waste paper, leaves of Prosopis juliflora and sugarcane bagasse at Chiro, Oda Bultum University to determine the effect of substrate on nutritional composition of oyster mushroom. Thirteen different combinations of three substrates were used for cultivation of oyster mushroom. The substrate combination were substrate one (75%SCB+25%WP), substrate two (50%SCB + 50%WP), substrate three (25%SCB + 75%WP), substrate four (75%SCB + 25%LPJ), substrate five (50%SCB+50%LPJ), substrate six (25%SCB + 75%LPJ), substrate seven (75%WP + 25%LPJ), substrate eight (50%WP + 50%LPJ), substrate nine (25%WP + 75%LPJ), substrate ten (100% SCB), substrate eleven (100%LPJ), substrate twelve (100% WP) and substrate thirteen (33%SCB + 33%WP + 33%LPJ) replicated three times. The oyster mushroom was success fully grown and harvested except for substrate six, substrate nine and substrate eleven due to presence of high proportions of leaves of Prosopis juliflora in these substrates. The leaves of Prosopis juliflora were not easily decomposed. Hence, affect the germination and growth of oyster mushroom in comparison with the other ten different substrates. On these ten substrates oyster mushroom was success fully grown, harvested and analyzed for their nutritional composition. Based on their analysis substrate thirteen, substrate four, substrate ten, substrate seven, substrate twelve, substrate two, and substrate three were statistically significant for their crude protein and crude fiber content while substrate ten, substrate four, substrate two, substrate one and substrate three were highly significant for their carbohydrate content. Hence they were the best substrates for their nutritional composition of oyster mushroom under Chiro condition.

Abstract: Agriculture is one of the leading industries in Azerbaijan, and fruit science is developing on a scientific basis. In the orchards the apple plant takes the first place, and in these gardens there are applied varieties of national selection, introduction varieties, selection varieties of the Scientific-Research Institute of Fruit and Tea. The history of selection in the Azerbaijan Republic began in 1932 by researchers of the Guba Experiment Station. The father parent is used mainly for breeding, such as those obtained by national selection, and as the mother parent used introductioned varieties (F1) for breeding purposes: Anatolu, Arzu, Badami, Bichin goren, Vystavochnaya, New Rosmarine, Guba saffron, Kamshirin, Naila, Sona apple, Samed Vurgun, Neftchilara hadiyya, Azerbaijan reneti and so on. Varieties have been obtained these varieties are widely distributed in the regions of Azerbaijan, which have different soil and climatic conditions. To eliminate the deficiencies in these varieties, 23 new breeds have been acquired by repeated hybridization (F2) since 1985. These varieties (Nigar, Marfa, Sulkh, Sevinj, Chyrqqala, Emil, Shabran, Nyubar, Khazar, Vatan, Elvin, Davamly, Autumn Guba, winter Guba, Ulvi, Mahmari, Zumrud, Eldar, Nuran, Gizil Taj, Gobustan, Sarvan, Sadaf) submitted to the State Commission for Selection Achievement Testing and Protection. Varieties of Autumn Guba, Winter Guba, Elvin and Sevinj are zoned. The article provides information on the yield, productivity, some quality indicators, the sustainability of the vegetation period and economic efficiency as a result of research.
