A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used, consisting of eight treatments and three replications, distributed in 24 experimental units: T1 (100% cardboard), T2 (100% sugarcane bagasse), T3 (100% paper), T4 (100% coconut husk), T5 (85% sugarcane bagasse + 15% paper), T6 (85% sugarcane bagasse + 15% cardboard), T7 (85% coconut husk + 15% paper), and T8 (85% coconut husk + 15% cardboard). The evaluated variables were cap diameter, number of fruiting bodies, number of caps, yield per bag, and economic indicators of benefit/cost ratio and profitability. The data were subjected to the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and Levene’s homogeneity of variance test; according to the fulfillment of assumptions, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Welch’s test with Games-Howell multiple comparisons, or the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparisons adjusted by Bonferroni were applied. The economic evaluation was carried out using Microsoft Excel, considering production costs, income, net profit, benefit/cost ratio, and profitability. The results showed that treatment T8 obtained the highest yield in the first and second harvests, with 210.32 g/bag and 159.40 g/bag, respectively, as well as the highest number of caps (28 units). Meanwhile, treatment T1 recorded the highest yield in the third harvest (165.21 g/bag) and the largest cap diameter in the first harvest (12.08 cm). In the economic evaluation, treatment T8 presented the highest benefit/cost ratio (1.68) and the highest profitability (67.70%). It was concluded that treatment T8 (85% coconut husk + 15% cardboard) constituted the alternative with the greatest productive and economic viability for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus under the conditions of Huanta.application/pdfspainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPleurotus ostreatusProductive yieldOrganic substratesEconomic evaluation.economicinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesishttps://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#4.01.06
