Cordyceps IoT-Based Smart Farm Control System

Abstract

Cordyceps, an edible and medicinal mushroom, prized for its medicinal properties, plays a significant role in regional economies. The cultivation and harvesting of Cordyceps contribute to income generation and employment opportunities for local communities. In conventional farming, the challenges associated with human intervention and the precise control of optimal cultivation conditions often impact overall crop profitability. Addressing this concern, our research introduces an innovative solution — an IoT-based Cordyceps smart farm control system. This technological advancement elevates a traditional Cordyceps farm to the realm of smart agriculture, empowering farmers with the capabilities to meticulously manage and fine-tune environmental parameters. This transformative system creates an optimal and controlled setting, fostering the flourishing cultivation of Cordyceps. In the larger context, the implementation of our smart farm system resulted in a noteworthy 20% increase in overall crop profitability, underlining the tangible economic benefits of embracing IoT technology in Cordyceps cultivation.
