One of the key tools for mushroom growers is a mushroom yield calculator, which helps in optimizing the yield and ensuring a bountiful harvest. Mushroom cultivation is both an art and a science, requiring careful attention to detail and the use of efficient tools to ensure a successful harvest.
This article will delve into the various aspects of mushroom yield calculation, maximizing yield, cultivation techniques, dosage determination, substrate selection, and much more.
Mushroom Yield Formula
The Mushroom Yield Formula is calculated as follows
MY= WM/WDS×100
Where,
MY is the Mushroom Yield (percentage)
WM is the total weight of the mushrooms harvested
WDS is the total weight of the harvested dry substrate.
To find the Mushroom Yield, you divide the total weight of the harvested mushrooms by the total weight of the harvested dry substrate and then multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage yield.
Examples of Calculating Mushroom Yield with the help of the Formula
Example 1
Suppose you harvest 2.5 kilograms of mushrooms from 10 kilograms of dry substrate.
Given,
- WM (Total Weight of Mushrooms): 2.5 kg
- WDS (Total Weight of Dry Substrate): 10 kg
Using the formula= MY=2.5/10×100=25%
Mushroom Yield (MY) = 25%
Example 2
Let’s say you harvest 800 grams of mushrooms from 5 kilograms of dry substrate.
Given
- WM (Total Weight of Mushrooms): 0.8 kg (800 grams = 0.8 kg)
- WDS (Total Weight of Dry Substrate): 5 kg
Formula = MY= WM/WDS×100
Using the formula= MY=0.85/5×100=16%
Mushroom Yield (MY) = 16%
These examples demonstrate how to use the formula to calculate the Mushroom Yield percentage by dividing the total weight of harvested mushrooms by the total weight of dry substrate and then multiplying the result by 100 to get the percentage yield.
