Description
Summary:	Sericulture, a vital agricultural sector, intricately involves silkworm cultivation and silk extraction. Beyond its economic impact, it significantly contributes to rural employment, poverty alleviation, and foreign exchange earnings. Ensuring optimal productivity hinges on the meticulous care of silkworms, particularly during their temperature and humidity-sensitive larval stage. This study employs an MEGA controller for real-time data visualization, offering precise insights into silkworm development. Advanced image processing aids in identifying infections and developmental stages. The synergy of these technologies forms a dynamic dataset, capturing real-time statistics crucial for industry enhancement. By integrating controlled environments and cutting-edge monitoring, this research pioneers the preemptive identification of issues, ensuring the sustained health and productivity of silkworms. It underscores the fusion of technology and sericulture for heightened efficiency and output.
