Short duration Shiitake cultivation technology

overview

The short-duration mushroom cultivation technology reduces the first harvest period from 90–100 days to just 45–47 days, ensuring faster production cycles and improved efficiency. With a biological efficiency (BE) of 110–130%, the technology uses an optimised substrate mix and controlled environmental conditions to achieve higher yields, providing farmers with a cost-effective and sustainable mushroom production method.
