Resource Person:N Chingin, Course Instructor.
A mushroom cultivation workshop was conducted for students of RUSA (Vocational) Course on Horticulture. The workshop was made mandatory for all students enrolled under the RUSA (VOC) Horticulture Course for the year 2019-2020.
As mushroom cultivation is an emerging as a promising agro-based enterprise, it was pertinent that students be given a thorough workshop on its cultivation. Spawn was procured from SASARD, Medziphema, Dimapur. Hay was purchased from the neighbouring village and cooked in preparation for the workshop as it required disinfection.
Students were briefed on the nutritional and medicinal value of mushroom and its economic benefit.
