Abstract
The cultivation of White Button Mushrooms is a carefully controlled biological system,
however contamination with microorganisms, which are in ways, is inevitable. White Button
Mushrooms are growing in Punjab and adjoining areas are carried out by seasonal growers
with no almost environmental controls. In India majority of the mushroom holdings are
lacking adequate compost preparation, pasteurization and proper environmental control
facilities, which lead to the development of various diseases and pests sufficiently to a level to
cause considerable yield loss. So this crop is always under threat of attack by diseases and
pests. To diagnose these diseases and pests is difficult and subjected to expert opinion. This
software is developed to automate the inspection of White Button Mushrooms and helps to
identify diseases and pests. Diagnosing diseases and pests requires Microbiologist to describe
the case. Moreover, there are some diseases which have similar symptoms making it difficult
for non-experts to distinguish them correctly. This method of diagnosis and identification
depends on comparison of the concerned case with the similar ones through one image or
more of the symptoms and helps enormously in overcoming difficulties of non-experts. The
proposed software will use colored images of defected mushrooms to detect and diagnose the
disease and pest. It will help the farmers to identify any disease, any pest and make right
treatment. This software is developed using ASP.Net and database using SQL Server 2008.
