IoT-Based Climate Control System for Cultivation of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Fruiting Bag

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Traditional oyster mushroom cultivation requires significant manual labor and precise environmental control for optimal growth.The study developed a system that combines soil moisture, temperature and humidity control, and an automated misting system with an IoT-based climate control system for the indoor cultivation of oyster mushroom fruiting bags, which is a smart urban farming system.The controlled system significantly increased mushroom yields, averaging 328.57g per harvest compared to 181.43g with traditional methods.Maintaining temperatures of 25°C -30°C, humidity levels of 70% -90%, and soil moisture between 60% and 90% in the mushroom chamber ensured consistent productivity.Comparative analysis revealed superior performance in moisture, temperature, and humidity control with the automated system, validated by t-tests (P = 0.04).These results underscore the system's effectiveness in enhancing mushroom growth, yield, and overall profitability for farmers in smart urban farming settings.
