    Automated misting and android-based monitoring system for oyster mushroom (Pleurotus SP.) production
    Cabrera, Cedie Vince E. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-06)
    This study was conducted to maintain optimal temperature and humidity, which is crucial for oyster mushroom growth; otherwise, it could impede mushroom development. An automated misting and Android-based monitoring system was developed to address this challenge. Other studies have used an automated mister; however, system monitoring is unavailable. Davao del Sur State College mushroom facility relies entirely on environmental temperature and humidity. The findings are as follows: A DHT11 sensor was used to read the temperature and humidity within a 5cm range from the sensor, spray mist when the DHT11 sensor detects a temperature of 28 degrees celsius and 72% relative humidity, HC04 Ultra-Sonic Sensor is used for water refill automation when the water reaches 7cm away from it, display humidity, temperature, and water level at 5 second intervals, and generate a graph based on average temperature, humidity, and water level calculated per month. The result of the study contributes to the agricultural aspects, specifically in mushroom farming, hence decreasing the farmer's workload and increasing the harvest yield, farming automation, and academic research. The research outcome is a foundation for new studies leading to a better understanding of farming with a more enhanced system for a better farming yield.

    Acceptability level of banana (Musa balbisiana) and calamansi (Citrus microcarpa) peels as alternative floorwax
    Rosit, Khitterine Fel l. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-03)
    The objective of the study was to determine the acceptability-level of Davao del Sur State College’s Banana (Musa balbisiana) peels and Calamansi (Citrus microcarpa) peels as alternative floor wax. It was an invention product that could be further recycled into an item of excellent quality that would be valuable to families in terms of appearance, color, odor, slip-resistance and water-resistance. This research comprises five treatments and will have thirty participants. Demonstration of product innovation and a use of complete randomized design and a survey questionnaire with a predetermined rating scale using a Likert Scale of 1.00 to 5.00 was use to collect the data. The results of a descriptive-comparative research approach and analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that banana (cardava) and calamansi peels was more acceptable and treatment 3 had the highest mean and verbal description of being the most acceptable and ii valued by the respondents. Therefore, Treatment 3 is the best as it most acceptable than the control group in terms of the sensory characteristics conducted appearance, color, odor, slip-resistance and water-resistance. As a result, it may be improved and adapted for commercialization, thereby rendering it more appealing to buyers. Innovations and development of banana and calamansi peels as alternative floor wax are highly encouraged. It was recommended to use proper and accurate textile or fabric of rag in applying this alternative floor wax, and it was suggested, which is considered a major issue for environmental and green ecology, that this waste is dumped in landfills, contributing to pollution problems and environmental issues. Finding solutions to the world, particularly the Philippines, environmental problems as a result, this is the crucial initial step in resolving it.
