Mushrooms Have Long Been Used For Medicinal and Food Purposes. Pleurotus Sajor- Caju Is
Edible Mushroom Species. In Present Study, Pleurotus Sajor -Caju Was Cultivated on Wheat Straw And
During Its Growth Various Doses of Indole 3 Acetic Acid (Iaa) a Plant Hormone at 10Ppm, 50Ppm And
100Ppm Were Sprayed In Mushroom Substrate. Thereafter Its Effect on the Growth and Yield of All Three
Flushes Were Recorded. Results Showed That Iaa Was Able to Induce Stimulation In Growth and Ultimately
Increase In Yield Is Also Recorded. Various Doses of Iaa Resulted In Increased Biomass Production From
14 to 30 With Reference to Control. This Study Suggest That Exposure of the Hormone to Substrate
Can Be Important Tool to Increase the Production of Mushroom and Thereby Increase Nutrition Demand
Can Be Fulfilled.
