Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Mushroom cultivation on ichu averaged 19.8% biological efficiency.
- Observation The fungi had protein contents of 24.1–30.41% on a dry basis.
- Observation Residual substrate phosphorus was elevated to 795.9–1296.9 ppm relative to raw ichu.
- Observation Residual substrate potassium was elevated to 253.1–291.3 ppm relative to raw ichu.
- Observation Radish seeds germinated at 80%–100% without inhibition in tests of the residual substrate.
- Recommendation The authors conclude ichu has potential for edible mushroom substrate and biofertilizer production.
