ABSTRACT
Some studies have reported the method for treating the spent mushroom substrate (SMS). However, the effective use as a functional raw material based on properties of SMS remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we investigated the usefulness of SMS in agriculture to develop a new method for treating and utilizing it. First, we attempted to isolate chitin/cellulose nanofiber complex (CCNFC) from SMS using chemical pretreatment and mechanical fibrillation. The characterization results like SEM, FT-IR, and XRD showed that we successfully isolated the CCNFC from SMS. Second, we explored the biological activities of the CCNFC for its potential application as a functional agricultural nanomaterial. CCNFC water dispersion with low concentration (0.1 and 1 mg/mL) exhibited significant plant disease resistance and plant growth promotion activities. Our results suggested that SMS may provide a useful source of functional agricultural nanomaterial, which may contribute to treating and applying it in agriculture.
