Mushroom Spawn Production
SCHEME OF MUSHROOM SPAWN PRODUCTION WITH THE INVESTMENT OF RUPEES THREE LAKHS (Rs. 3,00,000)
Unlike agriculture, mushroom seed (Spawn) production involves sophisticated technology with high investment requiring laboratory and equipments with accessories. The major constraint in mushroom production is non-avail ability of spawn. The technology of spawn production is given by OUAT, Eco-care and Aware and other institutes. Three roomed house with some equipments, furniture’s glassware’s chemicals and some other accessories are required to start spawn lab. Keeping in view of demand for mushroom, it is urgently needed to have one spawn lab in each block. If 50 to 100 mushroom growers will be developed in a cluster of villages to grow minimum one quintal to two quintals of mushroom, one spawn unit can be set up there to feed the spawn to these mushroom growers. Each spawn producer should have its own mushroom production farm to know the efficacy of his own spawn as well as demonstrate the mushroom production technology to others which will promote the sale of spawn. By this both spawn unit and mushroom farm will be economically viable.
Objective. :
(1) To produce 200 spawn bottles of two shift i.e. 5,000 bottles of spawn assuming 25 working days per month.
(2) To create income of Rs. 12,000/- per month from spawn + Rs. 3,675 from mushroom farm.
REQUIREMENT FOR SPAWN UNIT
A. Land and building
Four roomed building will be essential to state spawn lab. one room will be used to multiply fungus which is called “inoculation chamber” with another room will be devoted to prepare media for culture tube an spawn bottle or which it is called media room. It can be used as media for culture tube an spawn bottle or which it is called media room. It can be used as media cum office room. Fourth room will be kept as store room. The incubation chamber will be air tight fitted with light and U.V. Light. The maintenance of aseptic condition in inoculation chamber is
