Abstract
This study aimed to assay the effect of the separate supplementations additive of Mannose, Fructose and Maltose in concentrations 1, 3 and 5% at casing of colonized compost on the productive characteristics of the mushroom Agaricus bisporus، Results indicated a significant increase (p<0،05) in total production and biological efficiency with treatment of 3% Maltose،
When total production increased from 125gm bag-1 (1 kg compost) in the control to 199،7 gm bag-1 (1 kg compost) with this supplement، While the biological efficiency was increased from 41،7% to 66،6% with the same supplement، Furthermore, this treatment was also recorded higher value for fruiting body number (17), when compared with (11) for the control treatment.
