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.
Yanmar Rice Transplanter
ACI recently introduced Rice Transplanter from Yanmar. Yanmar is the number one global Agricultural Machineries Company. The capacity of Yanmar Rice Transplanter is 0.4 hectare/hour. By using this machine, farmers can reduce cost up to 78% and save time up to 64%. Using the traditional method, cost of rice transplanting would be about 8,000 taka/hectare.
Rupali: Bringing AI & IoT for Aquaculture Farmers
ACI Agribusiness, the leading aggregator of Agri-inputs in Bangladesh has launched Rupali in collaboration with World Fish & DoF.
