Abstract :In this study, the effects of jiffy tablet, peat and tomato waste prepared by spawning of Pleurotus ostreatus mycelium media on growth and quality characters of pepper seedlings were investigated. Seedling height insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(cm);, root length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(cm);, leaf chlorophyll content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CCI);, leaf area insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(cm 2 ); and total seedling dry weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(g); were determined as seedling growth and quality parameters. Significant differences insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P≤0.01); were found among media in terms of their influence on growth and quality characters of pepper seedlings. It was determined that the tomato waste medium spawned by P. ostreatus was not suitable for pepper seedling growing. When jiffy tablet and peat media compared, the highest seedling height insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(18.7 cm);, root length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12.4 cm);, leaf chlorophyll content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(19.5 CCI); and leaf area insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4.83); were obtained from the peat medium. The highest total seedling dry weight was determined in jiffy tablet medium as 0.18 g.
