Israelis Gain Double Value
in Recycling Cotton Straw

By JERRY CHESKY

Features from Israel
REHOVOT — That seem-

ingly useless cotton straw,
which farmers normally
burn or plow back into the
ground after harvesting,
could be a money-maker,
say researchers at Israel's
Hebrew University Faculty
of Agriculture. They have
devised a way of growing
oyster mushrooms in the
straw, which during the
growth process, degrade the
straw into a product that
can be used as cheap, nut-
ritious cattle feed.
"With all the money spent
on irrigating cotton fields,
we felt that the straw could
not be allowed to go to
waste," explain Israeli re-
searchers Prof. Ilan Chet,
Prof. Yigal Henis and Mark
Platt.
Raw cotton straw, which
is composed mainly of lig-
nocellulose, is unsuitable
for animal feed. "The main
problem is the lignin, which
is not digestible and which
literally wraps itself around
the cellulose which could
otherwise be edible," says
Chet. "Our mushrooms de-
grade 60 to 70 percent of the
lignin during their growth,
allowing the enzymes in the
stomachs of sheep and cattle
to get at the cellulose."

The oyster, or
pleurotus, mushroom
was chosen for the exper-
iment because it is rela-
tively easy to grow and
thrives in Israeli temper-
ature fluctuations from
about 4 degrees C (39 de-
grees F), a winter night,
to more than 30 degrees C
(86 degrees F), the normal
summer daytime temp-
erature.

"Unlike the popular
champignon mushroom,"
says Platt, the oyster mus-
hroom does not require
costly air conditioning. It
also does not need a care-
fully prepared compost of
horse manure, wheat and

additives, which is the nor-
mal way of growing mus-
hrooms."
The straw is soaked in
water for two days, then
steamed to eliminate com-
peting organisms and then
sown with mushrooms. In
the summertime tempera-
tures, the crops grow par-
ticularly well. In three
weeks, one can harvest 70
grams of mushrooms on a
kilogram of cotton straw.
The buildings for growing
the oyster mushroom are
also simple. One experi-
ment is taking place in an
old room on a nearby kibutz.
Others are expected to be
held in converted chicken
coops, outfitted with fans to
remove carbon dioxide and
with nozzles to spray a mist
into the air, to create damp
conditions.

Buyers in Germany
and Austria have already
expressed interest in the
mushrooms and one Au-
strian firm wants to set
up a growing station in
Israel and export to Au-
stria.

The researchers expect to
save significant amounts of
foreign currency once ex-
periments for using the
straw as cattle feed have
been carried out in the next
few years.
