IOT-Driven Smart farming: Enhancing mushroom cultivation with environmental control and image-based disease detection

Mushroom farming is a rapidly growing segment of sustainable agriculture, offering high nutritional value and commercial viability. However, maintaining optimal environmental conditions and preventing disease outbreaks are major challenges. This paper proposes a comprehensive Internet of Things (IoT) based smart system that automates the monitoring and control of the growing environment while integrating image- based disease detection through deep learning. The solution reduces labor intensity, improves yield quality, and enables remote farm management.
