Title Statement Efficient utilization of Agro-industrial wastes through mushroom production in the Central Luzon Region, Philippines Physical Description 15-20 Summary, Etc. The Central Luzon region in the Philippines is a rice based area where agricultural production is almost maximized. Farmers used to cultivate rice and other cash crops. The farming community in the region generates farm wastes as a result of intensive agriculture. Most farmers burn these wastes or let these be naturally decomposed in the field thus posing an ecological problem in the region. Through wise ecological management, these wastes can be utilized in the production of mushrooms and other crops. The efficient utilization of agricultural wastes would mean increased food production., additional income and maintenance of a sound agro-ecosystem. Thus, the Department of Biological Science, College of Arts and Sciences at the Central Luzon State University initiated the establishment of the Mushroom Technology Laboratory (MTL) in 1991. The MTL caters to the needs of the farming communities in terms of instruction, research, extension and training. In order to accomplish its functions, the MTL works hand in hand with other government and non-government organizations like the Mushroom Unit of the Quality Control and Training Center, a Carl Duissberg Gesselschaft South East Asian Program Office funded project and the Philippines. With its almost three years of existence, the laboratory was able to come up with a scheme that efficiently utilizes farm wastes in the region. Details of this technology will be presented in this paper Subject Added Entry - Topical Term AGARICALES, UTILIZATION   AGRO-INDUSTRIAL WASTES, PHILIPPINES   AGARICALES, UTILIZATION           Physical Location           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
