Nano-fertilizer – for significant economic and environmental benefits
A controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) is a granulated fertilizer that releases nutrients gradually into the soil. Slowing down the release of plant nutrients from fertilizers can be achieved by different methods and the resulting products are known as slow-or controlled-release fertilizers.
Vaccination for Avian Influenza
Avian Influenza is a serious threat to the poultry industry of Bangladesh. The country’s poultry industry has been suffering from two of its sub-type H5N1 (high pathogenic) and H9N2 (low pathogenic). In Bangladesh, highly pathogenic H5N1 virus was first detected on 15 March 2007. ACI Animal health for the first time introduced Vectormune HVT AIV the H5N1 for the influenza (bird flu vaccination) in Bangladesh in 2012.
Farm Vaccination Management through Application: Potential for FOSHOLI
Treating farm animals with vaccines is crucial to produce immunity against diseases. According to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), average losses due to animal diseases are more than 20%. Animal vaccination thus provides manifold benefits including healthy and disease-free farm animal in a cost effective way.
Smart Tech Solution: Controlled Release Fertilizer
A controlled release fertilizer (CRF), as the name suggests, is an improvised type of fertilizer which has a controlled release period. Mostly found in the granular form, CRF has a varied release period dependent on its release mechanism, longevity, controlling factors, and overall technology behind it. Interestingly, its longevity can be changed with the thickness of the polymer coating surrounding the prill i.e. increased thickness for increase
PVS Trails of Hybrid Maize by Smallholder Farmers
ACI Seed’s R&D, PDS and Product Portfolio team jointly conducted preliminary yield trials of 50 exotic hybrid maize varieties of 6 foreign principal companies in the last rabi2017-18 and kharif-I 2018 season.
Technology for Scaling up Vertical Farming
Vertical farming is a farming practice that produces plants using soil, aeroponic or hydroponic methods in layers that are vertically stacked. Although it mainly attempts to produce food in a challenging environment, it can be a solution to the problem of shrinking arable land with growing population worldwide. Food futurists and analysts are predicting that high-tech vertical farming operations will be the future of agriculture. It can be operat
