Abstract: This essay took four kinds of mushroom bran as nursery substrate to test seedling cultivation of watermelon stock, observed the applicability of various mushroom bran for watermelon stock seedling cultivation. Hypsizigus marmoreu, Pleurotus eryngii, golden mushroom and tea mushroom were selected and separately mixed with vermiculite to make the nursery substrate, then the authors measured the physicochemical characteristics of the substrates and performed seedling cultivation of watermelon stock. The results showed that: the mushroom bran of Pleurotus eryngii and golden mushroom had comparatively small bulk density and comparatively less total porosity. The mushroom bran of Hypsizigus marmoreu and tea mushroom had better effect than Pleurotus eryngii and golden mushroom. Sample mushroom bran made of Hypsizigus marmoreu: vermiculite=4:1 and tea mushroom: vermiculite=1:1 had significantly higher watermelon stock seedling index than sample mushroom bran of peat: vermiculite=2:1, suggesting that the mushroom bran of Hypsizigus marmoreu and tea mushroom should be used as nursery substrate for further research and development on watermelon stock.
