Analysis of Sprayer Temperature And Humidity Control Using Oil Mushroom Cultivation (Pleurotus ostreatus)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of sprayers to control room
temperature and humidity in Oyster Mushroom cultivation. As well as knowing the effect of
temperature and humidity and growth of oyster mushrooms by giving different treatments in
watering. This research was conducted in August - October 2020 in Kumbung (Oyster Mushroom
House), Kampung Surabaya, Tiwugalih Environment, Praya District, Central Lombok Regency,
West Nusa Tenggara. The research parameters studied included temperature (°C), humidity (%),
light / sunlight (lux), and growth of Oyster Mushrooms including length of Oyster Mushrooms
(cm), diameter of caps of Oyster Mushrooms (cm), number of caps / clumps ( fruit), and fruit
body weight (g). The temperature on day 5 was 28.7 ° C. After controlling, namely spraying water
mist on the walls of the kumbung, the temperature dropped to 27.6 ° C. The lowest humidity value
occurs at noon on day 6 with a value of 66%. While the highest humidity value occurs at noon on
day 14 with a value of 99%. The optimum sunlight intensity is 50-1,500 lux. The best growth of
oyster mushrooms from each treatment was obtained in treatment 2 with an average stalk length
of 11.6 cm, a diameter of 12.3 cm, number of caps 9.7 and a weight of 181.4 grams of oyster
mushrooms. Based on the research results, it is suggested: to use an automatic tool to control
temperature and humidity in the Oyster Mushroom kumbung room. In building construction in
hot places, you should not use asbestos roofs, but use tile roofs.
