The choice of straw mushroom growing techniques of the straw mushroom growers in the Mekong Delta

Abstract

The article aimed to analyze the choice of straw mushroom growing techniques with the high economic efficiency of the straw mushroom growers in the Mekong Delta. The study was based on face-to-face interviews with 115 mushroom growing households in Lai Vung District, Dong Thap Province, and Binh Thuy District, O Mon District, Can Tho City. The study used marginal analysis to help the straw mushroom growers decide on choosing the optimal mushroom growing technique. The analyzed techniques for growing straw mushrooms included: usage of straw, usage of meow, and usage of fertilizers. The results showed that, in order to achieve high economic efficiency in mushroom production, the preferred techniques were to use the amount of paddy straw ranging form 20.0 to 25.0kg/m2 (from 0.8 to 1.2 rolls of straw/m2), the amount of meow ranging from 1.1 bags to 2 bags/m2 and the amount of fertilizers ranging from 0.05 to 0.19kg/100m2.
