Abstract
Fertility of soil-like substrate (SLS) made by successive conversion of wheat straw by oyster mushrooms and worms has been evaluated.
Soil-like substrate of different degree of maturity has been tested.
The most ready SLS provided the higher yields of wheat.
It comprised 9.5% of humic acids, 4.9% of fulvic acids and 15.2% of nonhydrolyzable substances.
At atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide the soil-like substrate decreased its mass over the vegetation period by 14-21%. The yield of wheat, beans and cucumbers grown on the soil-like substrate was compared to that on hydroponics.
