Pretty much all Bangladeshis's know him today as he had been doing agricultural/horticulture shows since the 80s. His job is to find out problems and solutions that many gardeners and farmers face. Horticulture can be difficult if there are harsh weather, large cost of farming technology, and transportation issues. In addition, beginning gardeners might get frustrated as it takes knowledge, time, effort and the perfect combination of water, light, temperature, humidity, and nutrients to grow perfect plants every time. Our quiz this week is, how can you invent a technology that can solve all these horticultural problems and speed up the horticultural process? Just a reminder, that the internet has tons of solutions to these problems, but we will award $3 to the person who comes up with the wildest idea that has not been mentioned anywhere. Please comment below with your answer very BRIEFLY as this is not a wiki!  less

Different types of crops require certain soil components. If we divide the area based on soil material then we can improve the agricultural work.
    If our research team collects soil samples from different parts of Bangladesh and separates the zones based on the soil composition and identifies the zones, then the farmers will be able to identify the right land for their crops and cultivate at a higher level.  less

    Automation in the farming: What if there was also a robot that automatically seeds, waters, weeds, and harvests your plants? That’d be cool, right? It’s just one way technology can be used for farming. A good example is the FarmBot but It’s still in its infancy, but the technology promises to achieve a level of efficiency in food production that a human could never reach.but its ia matter of sorrow that it is not available in our country
    Artificial Intelligence in farming :Remote sensors, satellites, and UAVs can gather information 24 hours per day over an entire field. The idea is to allow farmers to gain a better understanding of the situation on the ground through advanced technology (such as remote sensing) that can tell them more about their situation than they can see with the naked eye. And not just more accurately but also more quickly...    less

    As a beginning gardener a person who hasn’t enough knowledge about farming,he could look over farming apps through his phone. As we know there are many apps which includes about insect , pesticide,soil, weather and so on. But there are many people who don't have Android phone. So a digital handnote can help them which can be short form off tab that can simply fit our hand and that will have only agricultural information. Which merket value should be low so that everyone could buy it. That will help beginning gardeners and also other farmers.  less

    As we all know government collects paddy from farmers. If Government collect oother crops like wheat, corns etc then it will help farmers. For this, there should be a booth in every one or two villages which will have test the quality of crops and buy crops from farmers. Then transportation costs will be decreased. For this reason, there will be no middleman and farmerswill get right price and they will provide pesticide free crops to get better price.

    Agro-ecological concepts are primarily based on traditional and local knowledge, and its corresponding cultures. Agroecology combines this knowledge with the findings and methods of modern science. Agroecology is both a science and a set of practices. It was created by the convergence of two scientific disciplines: agronomy and ecology.
    The strength of agroecology lies in the combination of ecological, biological, and agricultural sciences, along with medicine, nutritional and social sciences. It incorporates the knowledge of all stakeholders. Original source Their practical contribution to solving complex problems with the help of locally available resources is crucial. Apart from water, soil, and sun, other resources that are particularly important are the natural and cultivated diversity of plant species and varieties, along with the knowledge of people and communities on how these plants interact.  less

Everyone is using technology. There are many apps in the playstore market but there are lack of information. I would like to use a simple mobile cross-platfrom or a web app in which in can easily update data of cultivating different vegetables.There will be a easy solution of when to plant seed and when to apply fertilizer. There are many group in facebook and other social media in which anyone can buy and sell products. We can merge them and give them opportunity to resell in our New app. This is how we can give farmers their fair price of vegetable and full-fill the demand of gardeners.  less

Combining knowledge and making time to apply those at right time is almost impossible. I wish there would be some technology where there would be a place for planting. I could fix the manual (the time and amount of watering, amount of light etc) or just by adding the plant name informations could be set from a mobile app or website. The rest care would be done with the help of sensors. That system need to be capable of sensing the light and open or close a hood anytime. Hood will have different filtering capacity to pass perfect light.It will also be able to generate light that is lacking.Again, it would sense soil humidity and could water the plant itself from attatched water supply. The machine should be able to have multiple input so that at a time, number of different plants could be handled. In this method,plants with similar manual need to be planted together.  less

Proper care is the right way to speed up the plants. See that what is the problems of plants and how remove it easily. To let a normal person, most of them know how to make a fertilizer as it has a ratio to NPK system and water process, clean weeds, soil exchange, spread sand, sun light, insecticides control etc. Since most of the people have not a lot of money, i think if they have to choose this primary system, it will be benefit for speeding up his/her horticulture. Also see the programmes which takes by Sheikh Siraj Sir.  less

Fresh water is important for farming but if you can't supply fresh water it create horticultural problems. so we can use the sun to generate fresh water. High tech sensor will be also a good idea to cope up with these problems. High-tech sensors are another related technology that will mature along with changing food production. These sensors will have to collect massive amounts of data about, for example, the nutritional value and moisture in soil, about plant growth, and about light.  less

Indoor vertical farming can increase crop yields, overcome limited land area, and even reduce farming’s impact on the environment by cutting down distance traveled in the supply chain. Indoor vertical farming can be defined as the practice of growing produce stacked one above another in a closed and controlled environment. We can also use RFID technology. There are many uses for RFID technology in agriculture. Bales of hay can be tagged, capturing the date harvested, the field where it was harvested, the temperature, weight, moisture level and the nutritional information to be captured and stored. RFID has many potentials that busy farmers are seeking.  less

    things (IoT) is a promising industry. We can use sensors placed along the farms
    and connected to a central node. The node can be connected to a cloud server.
    Information like humidity, water level, moisture can be displayed on a web
    site. Based on the information a level of instructions can be displayed. For
    example : if the water level decreases, the web site will tell you to water the
    specific regions. This will help save a lot of water if used in a large scale. To
    make the technology environment friendly, we can connect the nodes to battery
    packs connected by a solar panel. The sensors itself requires a lot less energy
    and the project can become energy efficient.  less

It’s kind of research work where they have to get some analysis results. These includes analyzing about soil, insects, weather, seasonal problems, uses of different farming machine etc. But these research work hardly serves the farmers. Because the implementation of those analytical study is not applied properly in agricultural/horticultural sectors. My solution for above mentioned problem is to provide a timely analytical report for specific soil, for
    specific crops, for specific season, for specific weather etc. to the farmers
    and to help them farming according to the report. If a farmer can understand
    the nature of his farm from the report of at least 10 years, they can go through
    every phase of difficulty in farming.  less

    2. Spreading soil testing labs locally. Even small labs can be set up in vehicles to go to distant places.
    
    A farmer will get his soil sample tested from the nearest lab. He will enter his soil properties and environmental properties to the database through its API-generated mobile app, and the database will suggest the most suitable crop of highest market value according to his condition.
    
    The database will also provide him the scientific methods to produce that crop which will eradicate the 'lack of sufficient knowledge ' problem.  less
