Seasonal influence on the cultivation of important oyster species and their productivity in east and south eastern coastal plains of Odisha

Abstract

A trial was designed to cultivate the species year-round at bimonthly intervals from November 2018 to September 2019 in the ambient conditions in an effort to determine the seasonal influence on the cultivation of ten significant oyster species and productivity (Biological efficiency) in particular. This study assesses the biological efficiency of many Pleurotus species as well as the effect of spawning periods on the average weight of fruit bodies and sporophore weight. According to the findings, Pleurotus ostreatus continuously produced the largest average fruit body weight, reaching a peak of 17.56 g between November and December 2018. Pleurotus citrinopileatus also did well during this time.
