Implementasi Teknologi Humidifikasi Manual Berbasis Mistmaker dan Pendingin Peltier dalam Pengendalian Kelembapan dan Suhu Kumbung Jamur Tiram (Pleurotus sp.)

Abstract

Oyster mushroom cultivation required stable temperature and humidity conditions to support healthy growth and productivity. However, fluctuating environmental conditions often became an obstacle in traditional cultivation practices. This study aimed to implement a manual humidification technology based on a Mistmaker combined with a Peltier cooler in order to create a suitable microclimate for oyster mushroom growth. The method used was an experimental approach by comparing the mushroom house conditions with and without the humidification system. The results showed that the use of the Mistmaker significantly increased the chamber humidity and also reduced the average temperature. Electrical power consumption in the condition without the Mistmaker remained stable, whereas in the condition with the Mistmaker it increased due to additional load. The independent sample t-test indicated a significant difference (p < 0. 05) between both treatments. The use of the Mistmaker proved to create more controlled conditions compared to traditional methods, thereby supporting better fruiting body development of oyster mushrooms.
