    National Symposium on

    Trends & Innovations


    in Mushroom Production Technologies,
    Diversification, Processing and Consumption

    31st January to 2nd February 2019


    at
    Integrated Mushroom R&D Project
    HAIC Agro R&D Centre,
    Murthal (Haryana)

    Organized by
    HAIC Agro R&D Centre
    in collaboration with
    MHU Karnal,
    ICAR-DMR Solan,
    DCRUST Murthal
    &
    NIFTEM , Kundli
    Background
    Mushroom cultivation is a novel component of agriculture that can be easily integrated in the
    farming system to enhance the income of the farmers, or can even be taken up as an independent
    activity on commercial scale. Land requirement for mushroom cultivation is very less and major
    input is the agro-waste. In fact, the next revolution in agriculture is going to be based on our ability
    to effectively recycle the agro-wastes. Returns and productivity in mushroom cultivation are very
    high because of the vertical nature of its farming.

    The current world edible mushroom production per annum is 37 million ton. The production of
    mushrooms worldwide has been steadily increasing after world war II with major contribution from
    countries such as China, Netherlands, Poland, USA, etc. China accounts for over 85% to the total
    world mushroom production. India produces only 0.13 million ton mushroom of which 3/4th is
    button mushroom. Accordingly, consumption/person/year of mushrooms in India is <0.1 kg as
    compared to more than 20 kg in China.

    Button mushroom cultivation as a seasonal activity has gained popularity in Haryana and HAIC
    Agro R&D Centre, Murthal (Sonepat) has played a pivotal role. This centre was set up as a
    registered society with Commissioner & Secretary, Dept. of Agriculture, Haryana as the Chairman of
    General Body. Since year 2000, it has been managing the project 'Integrated Mushroom Research and
    Development Project' set up by Government of Haryana to address the demand of quality spawn,
    pasteurized compost and casing soil by mushroom growers of the region.
    National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management (NIFTEM) located at
    Kundli in Sonepat District was conceptualized by Government of India as a "One Stop Solution
    Provider". The institute intends to act as a “Centre of Excellence” and an apex world class centre
    of global standards in the area of food technology and management so as to cater the needs of various
    stakeholders such as entrepreneurs, industries, exporters, policy makers, government and existing
    institutions.
    Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science & Technology (DCRUST), Murthal came into
    being on 6th November 2006 by upgrading erstwhile Chhotu Ram State College of Engineering,
    Murthal through an Act 29 of 2006 of the Legislature of the state of Haryana with the vision to
    facilitate and promote studies and research in emerging areas of higher education with focus on new
    frontiers of science, engineering, technology, architecture, management studies, humanities and also
    to achieve excellence in these and connected fields.
    Maharana Pratap Horticultural University (MHU), Karnal came into existence on 28th
    November, 2016, with the vision to focus on all round development of education, research &
    extension of Horticulture in the state. The site for University is situated 21 km from Karnal on
    National Highway number one (NH-1) leading to Ambala. It is 146 km from Delhi and connected
    with Nilokheri Railway station.
    Directorate of Mushroom Research was established in 1983 as National Centre for Mushroom
    Research and Training, which was renamed as NRC on Mushroom in 1997 and upgraded to
    Directorate in December 2008. The Directorate is located at Solan- The Mushroom City of India and
    has been addressing the needs of the country through research and trainings at DMR and AICRP
    centres.
    HAIC Agro R&D Centre in collaboration with different organizations of the region is organizing
    this symposium at Murthal to discuss trends and innovations on various aspects of mushrooms.
