Pleurotus sajor-caju is an important edible mushroom species due encompassing significant medicinal and nutritional values, popularly cultivated worldwide. It contains several essential components such as proteins, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Therefore, present study evaluated the growth and yield of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sajor-caju) after the treatment of various doses of a plant hormone, Kinetin. Pleurotus sajor-caju was cultivated on wheat straw and sprayed with different doses of kinetin i.e. 10 ppm, 50 ppm and 100 ppm three times. All three flushes were collected and measured for total biomass production of mushroom. The results indicate that the hormonal treatment was able to enhance the biomass production in mushroom. Yield was found to increase from 8% to 27% as compared to control and the mushroom biomass from various treatment was 10 ppm (414 g), 50 ppm (482 g) and 100 ppm (298 g).
