EFFECT OF SPENT MUSHROOM SUBSTRATE AND SULFUR ON GROWTH AND YIELD TRAITS OF BROCCOLI IN GYPSIFEROUS SOIL

The tendency to use natural organic wastes is one of the environmentally safe applications in crop production. Therefore, presented study aimed determine effect adding mushroom and sulfur residues gypsiferous soil their efficiency improving production broccoli ‘Balimo F1’ (Brassica oleracea var. ‘Italica’). set out a randomized complete block design with three replications. 10 combined treatments spent substrate (SMS) consisted 0% 15% (SMS), 0, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 S kg ha-1. interaction showed significant differences for most growth yield-related traits broccoli, including leaf length, leaves per plant, roots head diameter, weight, total yield, harvest index, as compared control treatments. Among all highest yield (148,702 ha-1) resulted treatment SMS – + Sulfur 3000 ha-1, followed by yields 111,608 105,663 ha-1 produced 2000 respectively. However, minimum (28,295 came from 33,793 obtained Overall, control, influence occurred due levels
