Scientific cultivation of Mushroom 


Mushroom cultivation is a process of artificially growing mushrooms in a controlled environment. The scientific cultivation of mushrooms involves several steps, including selecting the right species of mushroom, preparing the substrate, sterilizing the substrate, inoculating the substrate with mushroom spawn, and providing the right environmental conditions for the mushrooms to grow.


Here are the steps involved in the scientific cultivation of mushrooms:


Choose the right species of mushroom: Different types of mushrooms grow under different environmental conditions. Therefore, it is essential to select the right species of mushroom that can thrive in the climate and conditions of the cultivation area.


Prepare the substrate: The substrate is the material that mushrooms grow on. Common substrates include straw, sawdust, and compost. The substrate needs to be prepared by pasteurization or sterilization to kill any unwanted bacteria, fungi, or other organisms that could compete with the mushrooms for nutrients.


Inoculate the substrate: Once the substrate has been sterilized, it is time to inoculate it with mushroom spawn. Spawn is a substrate that has been inoculated with the mushroom mycelium, which is the vegetative part of the fungus. The spawn is added to the sterilized substrate, and the mycelium starts to grow and spread throughout the substrate.


Incubation: The inoculated substrate is kept in a controlled environment with the right temperature, humidity, and light conditions for the mycelium to grow and develop. This stage is called incubation and usually takes between 1-3 weeks.


Fruiting: Once the mycelium has colonized the substrate, it is time to initiate fruiting, which is the process of forming the mushroom fruiting bodies. The right environmental conditions are critical for fruiting to occur, including temperature, humidity, light, and CO2 levels.


Harvesting: After the mushrooms have developed to the appropriate size, they are ready for harvest. The timing of the harvest is crucial, as leaving the mushrooms too long can lead to over-ripening, and the quality of the mushrooms will decrease.


Post-harvest handling: After harvesting, the mushrooms need to be processed and stored appropriately to maintain their quality and freshness. This includes cleaning, packaging, and refrigeration.


Overall, the scientific cultivation of mushrooms requires careful attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the environmental conditions required for each species of mushroom. With the right approach, it is possible to cultivate high-quality mushrooms that are both delicious and nutritious.

सिंचाई की विधियाँ -Methods of irrigation   भारत मे सिचाई की किसी एक विधि को नही अपनाया जा सकता, क्योंकि यहां कृषि की दशाएं असमान हैं। अतः सिचाई की कई विधियों का प्रयोग किया जाता है । सिचाई की विधियों को निम्न भागों में बांटा गया है - (A) सतही सिंचाई (Surface irrigation)-   सतही सिंचाई को कई तरीके से दिया जा सकता है । आमतौर पर जमीन की ऊपरी सतह पर पानी देने को ही सतही सिंचाई कहते है । इसके प्रकार निम्न हैं-  (1) Flood irrigation - अधिक भूमि में सिंचाई करने के लिये इस विधि को अपनाया जाता है ,इस विधि को असमान भूमि , छिटकवां विधि से बोय हुए खेत मे प्रयोग की जाती है । पानी को ऊपरी सतह पर बहुत सारी मात्रा में बहा दिया जाता है ।  (2) क्यारी बनाकर सिंचाई करना - इस विधि का प्रयोग भारत मे सबसे अधिक होता है , इस विधि में खेत मे क्यारी बनाने के बाद सिंचाई की जाती है । जिससे मृदा अपरदन कम मात्रा में होता है ।  (3) थाल विधि - इस प्रकार की विधि में पौधे के चारों ओर थाल बना देते है , जिससे पानी की खपत कम होती है । यह विधि मुख्य रूप से के...

Beer formation from barley

 Beer formation from barley The process of making beer from barley involves several steps. Here is a general overview of the process: Malting: The first step is to soak the barley grains in water to initiate the germination process. During germination, enzymes are produced that break down the complex carbohydrates in the barley into simpler sugars that can be used by yeast to produce alcohol. Once the barley has sprouted, it is dried and heated to stop the germination process. This process is called malting. Mashing: The malted barley is then crushed and mixed with hot water to create a mash. This process activates the enzymes that were produced during malting and converts the starch in the barley into fermentable sugars. Boiling: The mash is then boiled with hops, which provide flavor and help to preserve the beer. Boiling also sterilizes the liquid and removes any unwanted compounds. Fermentation: After boiling, the liquid is cooled and yeast is added. The yeast consumes the suga...

         introduction of Mushroom मानव ने जब से पृथ्वी पर पदार्पण किया है, तभी से Fungi इस पृथ्वी पर है। कई ग्रन्थों में ऐसा लिखा मिला है कि प्रकृति अकेले सबसे पुरानी है और उस पर कला मशरूम है''। लैटिन भाषा में मशरूम की उत्पत्य "Fungo" शब्द से है, जिसका अर्थ Flourish है। जबकि ग्रीक भाषा में Mushroom शब्द "Sphonggos or sphoggOs से बना है, जिसका अर्थ "Sponge" अथवा  Sponge like structre से है। फ्रेंच भाषा में यह Mouse अथवा Moss शब्द से लिया गया है। संस्कृत भाषा में इसे ksutmpa तथा हिन्दी में Khurubi कहते हैं जबकि अन्य शब्दों में इसे कुकुरमुत्ता, कवक, भूमि कवक तथा भुस्तरना आदि नाम से जानते हैं। कुछ मशरूम खाने योग्य होते हैं, जबकि कुछ जहरीले होते हैं। जो जहरीले होते हैं उन्हें "Toard-stools" कहते हैं। यह वैज्ञानिक नाम नहीं है, वरन जहरीले और खाने वाले मशरूम में अन्तर करने के लिए इसका प्रयोग करते हैं। प्राचीन काल में ऐसा माना जाता था, कि चरागाह में उगने वाली मशरूम खाने वाली तथा सड़े हुये कूड़े पर, सड़े अण्डे पर, साँप के गड्ढों के पास तथा पे...
