New Mushroom Cultivation Technologies Developed
Pyongyang, March 18 (KCNA) -- The mushroom institute of the State Academy of Sciences has achieved a lot of successes in scientific research, which are helpful towards the improvement of dietary life.

They make it possible to popularize and intensify the mushroom production without much effort to suit the natural and climate features of Korea and the raw-materials and cultivation conditions. The researchers there are striving to introduce the technologies on an expansion basis.

In particular, the agaric cultivation technology in a semi-vaulted greenhouse is popular, with which a large quantity of mushroom can be produced even in the temperature below zero.

They made quality supplementary nutrients and substrate ferment with deposit of sewage from pig farms, which considerably increase the mushroom yield.

The researchers have completed the method of cultivating agaric with waste matters after its cultivation as the main raw materials and proved successful in the research into introducing two-crop farming of mushroom.

This method, which doubles the utility rate of raw-materials, brings about a great huge profit upon its application.
