Promoting climate smart agriculture in the coastal belt of Bangladesh
More than 30% of the cultivable land and one-fourth of the population in Bangladesh is in the coastal belt. A total of 366,650 ha of land is affected by salinity in Barisal and Patuakhali, where farmers usually only cultivate during winter while land is left fallow during other seasons. Thus biodiversity, crop yields, cropping intensity, production levels and people's livelihood quality are much lower than other parts of the country. At the same
E-Fisheries: Reducing Feeding Cost Up to 21%
In Bangladesh, the major cost of fish farming includes the feeding cost which comprises of 70-79% of the total cost and due to overfeeding and high feed conversion ratio (FCR) the farmers incurs unnecessary cost. ‘eFisheries’ reduces up to 21% of the feeding cost and boost profit.
Popularization of Mechanical Rice Transplantation
Bangladesh is the 4th largest rice producing country in the world. Out of the total cultivated land utilized for rice, transplanted rice covers around 80%. However, manual transplantation of rice becomes expensive due to labor shortage during harvesting season. Mechanical transplantation of rice has been considered the most promising solution to the problem.
Even the Smallest Land can be ploughed with a Tractor
It is a common cliché in Bangladesh that 4-wheel tractors are bigger in size and cannot operate in small land sizes as per requirement of Bangladeshi Farmers.
Additional job opportunity for Tractor Operation to cross canals, marshlands & rivers
Bangladesh is a land full of small canals, rivers and marshlands. Crossing rivers has always been a challenge for tractor rental service providers in various parts of the country. Through continuous innovation from International Tractor Limited (ITL), Sonalika Tractor manufacturer, R&D & ACI Motors product development engineers, all the engine parts of Sonalika tractor were made well-sealed. Moreover, oil immersed brake was introduced. So, by
The Smarter Way of Roof Gardening - Drip Irrigation
Any plant needs regular supply of water with a regular interval. Pouring water in the morning & afternoon may not serve the purpose. Drawing an analogy, let us consider that anyone needs to drink 3 liters of water in a day. If he drinks 2 liters in the morning and no water later in the day, it is inappropriate.
