Abstract

Shandilya, T. R., 1986 Changes in free amino acid content of the compost during growth and development of Agaricus bisporus . Eight amino acids viz., glutamic acid, threonine, serine, aspartic acid, proline, alanine, histidine and leucine were quantitatively characterized in finished compost. Changes in amino acid content during subsequent cropping period revealed that there was a decreasing trend in uninoculated compost as compared to inoculated cased compost. In inoculated compost there was a significant increase in alanine, histidine, leucine and proline but a significant decrease of glutamic acid, where as other amino acids did not differ at +10 days of casing compared to 0 day of sampling. In inoculated compost at 50 days of incubation there was a significant increase in alanine, leucine, proline and serine with no change in glutamic acid and threonine while histidine showed a significant decrease compared with 0 day.
