Institution: National Agriculture Training Academy (NATA), Gazipur (জাতীয় কৃষি প্রশিক্ষণ একাডেমি (নাটা)-তে প্রশিক্ষক হিসাবে লেকচার প্রদান)
The National Agriculture Training Academy (NATA) in Gazipur is the apex training institution under the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, responsible for building the technical and administrative capacity of BCS (Agriculture) cadre officers and scientists across NARS and BADC. I was invited to serve as a Guest Trainer and Lecturer at NATA to conduct specialized sessions on Poly-tunnel / Polyhouse and Greenhouse Cultivation Technology.
Core Training Modules Delivered at NATA
- Structural Classification & Cladding Physics: Comparing low-tunnel, walk-in poly-tunnel, naturally ventilated sawtooth polyhouse, and fan-and-pad climate-controlled greenhouses under Bangladesh’s solar and wind regimes.
- Microclimate & Fertigation Management: Managing photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), vapor pressure deficit (VPD), root-zone electrical conductivity (EC), and automated drip fertigation.
- High-Value Crop Protocols: Indeterminate greenhouse tomato, colored capsicum, netted melon, and seedless cucumber trellising, pollination, and integrated pest management.
