Automation of milky mushroom cultivation and its prospects

Abstract

Milky Mushrooms are tactful towards their growth environment, The parameters required for creating a healthy growth environment for cultivation of milky mushrooms mainly involve Temperature, Humidity, Soil moisture, Lower light intensity, good air quality. Over the time mushroom production has been affected severely even after keeping track of the mushroom farm by manual inspection throughout days, the owners of the milky mushroom farm still face sudden risk as they fail to identify the drastic change in temperature, humidity, soil moisture level, light intensity, Carbon di oxide level or air quality level, unable to supply the required resources at appropriate time, threat of rodents, unfortunately due to the misunderstandings and assumptions the manual inspections has failed multiple times as the manual inspection isn't consistent nor accurate. In this project, we try to find the convenient solution that could help the Milky Mushroom cultivators by reducing the risk of loss and also simplifies the hard challenges faced due to the need of regular farm visit, this project is the study and design of a monitoring system that has an ability to measure accurate temperature, humidity, soil moisture level, light intensity, air quality and facilitating the supply of resources like water and pesticide at accurate time, also takes care of the farm safety by rodent inspection from large distance. Taking the help of Internet of Things in monitoring the Milky mushroom makes things better and easier by achieving the most suitable environment for Milky mushroom cultivation at appropriate time and this can increase the yield at minimal cost and less efforts.
