MODIFIKASI RUANG STERILISASI MEDIA TANAM JAMUR UNTUK MENGURANGI KEGAGALAN PRODUK JAMUR TIRAM

Abstract

Sterilization room of mushroomss baglog is.function to kill bacteria, or any type of life in the mushrooms baglog so when the planting of oyster mushrooms, not wild mushrooms are disturbitg. Most of the oyster mushroom farmers in Indonesia are still traditional mushroom farmers. They sterilize the baglog based only on experience – previous experience. Mushroom farmers during the sterilization process using sterilization room shaped pan with a total time of sterilization during the nine hours, to reach 90.7"C temperature baglog takes eight hours. Thus are requiring a lot of fuel which ultimately adds to the cost of production. By doing this modification, aiming to reduce the failure rate and save fuel in the process of sterilization. From the results of the modification and testing can reduce the failure rate on mushroom growing media up to 65,48% and can save fuel up to 66,67%.
