tablet, peat and tomato waste prepared by spawning of Pleurotus ostreatus
mycelium media on growth and quality characters of pepper seedlings were
investigated. Seedling height (cm), root length (cm), leaf chlorophyll content
(CCI), leaf area (cm <sup>2 </sup>) and total seedling dry weight (g) were
determined as seedling growth and quality parameters. Significant differences
(P≤0.01) were found among media in terms of their influence on growth and
quality characters of pepper seedlings. It was determined that the tomato waste
medium spawned by P. ostreatus was not suitable for pepper seedling growing.
When jiffy tablet and peat media compared, the highest seedling height (18.7
cm), root length (12.4 cm), leaf chlorophyll content (19.5 CCI) and leaf area
(4.83) were obtained from the peat medium. The highest total seedling dry
weight was determined in jiffy tablet medium as 0.18 g. </span> <br /> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Burhan ÖZTÜRK}
