Event Focus: Polyhouse, Locally-Adapted Greenhouse & Drip Irrigation Technology Implementation and Training (পলিহাউজ ও ড্রিপ ইরিগেশণ প্রযুক্তি বাস্তবায়ন ও প্রশিক্ষণ / স্থানীয় গ্রীনহাউজ প্রযুক্তি স্থাপন, বাস্তবায়ন ও প্রশিক্ষণ)

Imported temperate-zone greenhouses often fail under Bangladesh’s intense solar radiation, monsoon wind loads, and high ambient humidity—while remaining financially out of reach for domestic growers. To bridge this gap, I led the structural adaptation, construction, and field validation of locally-engineered greenhouses and naturally ventilated polyhouses paired with precision drip fertigation networks.

Polyhouse & Drip Irrigation Field Training Demonstrating inline drip emitter layout, vent geometry, and crop trellis management inside a commercial polyhouse.

Hands-On Practical Session Inside Protected Structure Training agricultural personnel and progressive growers on root-zone moisture and fertigation scheduling.

Locally-Adapted Greenhouse Structural Engineering High-clearance roof ventilation and UV-stabilized cladding tailored for humid subtropical climates.

High-Value Crop Production Under Local Greenhouse Uniform canopy development and pest exclusion achieved using insect-proof netting and drip fertigation.

On-Site Farmer & Officer Training Cohort Field orientation on greenhouse microclimate management and low-cost structural maintenance.

Key Engineering & Extension Outcomes

• Tropical Microclimate Optimization: Engineered ridge vents and insect-screen sidewalls to maximize passive convective cooling without prohibitive electricity costs.
• Water-Use Efficiency via Drip Fertigation: Replaced flood irrigation with pressure-compensated drip lines and Venturi injectors, cutting water consumption by over 60% while preventing foliar fungal pathogens.
• Practical Grower Empowerment: Trained hundreds of farmers, nursery operators, and departmental staff on EC/pH calibration, pruning, and integrated pest management under cover.
