Mushroom cultivation offers a profitable venture for farmers exploring for an affordable cash crop. The straws and stubble needed to set up the green nurseries that ensure optimum conditions for mushroom growth, can all be derived locally from the field.
The leftover paddy stubble which makes headlines when the air quality plummets in the national capital, can be utilised in making these green houses.
Such sustainable measures can put stubble to good use by eliminating the need to incinerate it.
