A Review on Usage of Internet of Things (IoT) Technologies in Mushroom Cultivation

Abstract

With the advent of new technologies, IoT came into existence and created its niche in the technological world with its outperforming functionalities. Integration of different sensors helps in collecting real time data in different applications. Smart farming is described as the application of modern technologies to farming practices in order to achieve continuous improvement in farming procedures, resulting in increased productivity. The Internet of Things (IoT) is blending with modern agriculture because it enables farmers to track their farms in real time and access all of the information they need from any place at any time. Mushroom cultivation has also experienced the similar trends. Improved production and quality of crops can be obtained by controlling the climate for mushroom cultivation, as the ideal environmental conditions such as temperature, carbon dioxide, humidity level, sunlight, nutrient, and pH can be monitored and regulated using modern IoT enabled techniques. This research article presents the systematic mapping (2007-2020) of the current technologies been used in mushroom cultivation using IoT. Review of IoT technologies such as gateway, types of sensors, communication system, nature of experiment, and user interface is presented. The advantages and disadvantages of usage of these modern technologies in mushroom cultivation is also discussed.

IoT-Based Mushroom Cultivation System with Solar Renewable Energy Integration: Assessing the Sustainable Impact of the Yield and Quality

“…The IoT-integrated strategy, enabled by real-time monitoring and control, demonstrated a distinct yield and quality metrics advantage. This result is consistent with previous research [19][20][21][22] emphasizing the significance of precise environmental control for optimizing crop production. In this study, the experimental cultivation of Indian oyster mushrooms was conducted in Thailand, a tropical nation in Southeast Asia.…”

“…Chong et al [20] have designed an IoT-based environmental control and monitoring system tailored for home-based mushroom cultivation. Aggarwal and Singh [21] have further investigated the application of IoT technologies in mushroom cultivation, highlighting the associated benefits and drawbacks. Implementing an IoT-based monitoring and control system in a mushroom farm by Kassim et al [22] resulted in increased yields and optimized resource utilization.…”

Modular design and analysis of real-time two-way communication of Internet of Things gateway

“…System performance test resultsFrom the test results in Table3, it can be seen that the real-time two-way communication system based on Socket.IO protocol has excellent performance, high data transmission rate, and relatively low error rate and packet loss rate[9][10].…”
