Development of remote regulating system with automatic water misting for oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) production
(2023) Abelardo H. Caringal and Marc Anthony D. Jimenez
An automatic temperature and humidity regulating is a system that combines the necessary hardware, including temperature and humidity sensor units, SMS cellular Network and Arduino as CPUs to realize the simulation of creation. This study was conducted to develop the system in situ and determine the performance of regulating system with automatic water misting. The system software is created to use C as the programming language. The system is incorporated with sim card for text message commands and DHT11 sensor with water misting. Environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity inside the growing house were gathered. The white oyster mushroom parameters such as cap diameter, stalk length, cap counts, color and yield were evaluated. Based on the result of the study the developed remote regulating system with automatic water misting has significant effect towards the yield and quality of white oyster mushroom production. The controlled set-up temperature to significantly lower compared to conventional set-up. Humidity level is significantly lower in controlled set-up than conventinal as well. In the long run utilizing regulating system with automatic water misting helps to minimize work time and labor for white oyster mushroom cultivation.
