Silkworm Disease Detection & Prevention System

  • Unique Paper ID: 177662
  • PageNo: 7539-7542
  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents the design and implementation of a Silkworm Disease Detection and Prevention System using IoT technology. The system leverages temperature, humidity, and gas sensors integrated with a NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller to continuously monitor environmental conditions in silkworm rearing houses. By setting threshold values for critical parameters, the system detects anomalies that may lead to disease outbreaks in silkworms. The data is transmitted to a cloud-based IoT platform (like ThingSpeak), enabling real-time monitoring and alert notifications. The proposed system aims to reduce silkworm mortality, increase productivity, and support farmers with early warning and prevention mechanisms.
