Modern Fogging Irrigation System in Sitakunda Nursery Poly Shed

📍 Project Details and Necessity

In Bangladesh’s agricultural sector, especially in nurseries, controlling temperature, humidity, and appropriate irrigation is a major challenge. A controlled environment is essential for the proper growth and survival of seedlings and delicate crops. Farmers in Sitakunda’s nursery poly shed also faced such problems, where high temperatures and fluctuating humidity damaged seedlings.

To address this challenge, Drip Irrigation BD Limited (DIBL), in partnership with the local Department of Agricultural Extension and the Sitakunda Agriculture Office, implemented a fully automated fogging irrigation system. This project was successfully completed in 2024 and is installed on 10 decimal of land.

🔧 Technology and Installation: fogging irrigation Sitakunda

The DIBL team used integrated modern technology in this project. Its key components include:

• Pump: Creates the necessary water pressure.
• WiFi Timer: Automatically starts and stops irrigation activities, controllable via a mobile app.
• Soil Moisture Sensor: Measures soil moisture and sends data to the automation system, triggering irrigation as needed.
• Filter: Removes impurities from the water, protecting fogger nozzles from clogging.
• HDPE Pipe and Thread Pipe: Used for water distribution throughout the entire system.
• Mist Fogger and Fogger Tube: Creates fine mist, controlling environmental temperature and humidity.

This comprehensive automated fogging irrigation Sitakunda system is designed to excellent control temperature, humidity, and soil moisture inside the nursery.

🌱 Farmer Benefits and Achievements

The installation of this modern fogging system has brought significant changes to the nursery poly shed in Sitakunda. The main achievements are as follows:

• Temperature Control: The temperature inside the nursery poly shed has been reduced by up to 5 degrees Celsius. This has created an ideal environment for seedlings, aiding their healthy growth.
• Humidity Control: The fogging system has made it easy to control humidity levels, which is crucial for seedlings.
• Automated Irrigation: With the WiFi timer and soil moisture sensor, irrigation is automated, resulting in savings in labor costs and time.
• Reduced Diseases: Proper temperature and humidity control help reduce diseases in seedlings.

💰 Cost and Savings

The total revenue for this project was ৳75,000. While there is an initial upfront cost, over the long term, this automated system leads to significant savings in water, electricity, and labor costs. Farmers can quickly recover their investment by producing improved yields and healthy seedlings.

🔬 What Research Says

Modern irrigation technologies, such as fogging and drip irrigation, are highly effective in controlling temperature and humidity. Agricultural research shows:

• Compared to drip irrigation systems, fogging systems are particularly effective in controlling temperature inside greenhouses or poly sheds, as well as increasing humidity. This can increase crop growth by 20-50%, especially when humidity is a limiting factor (Agricultural Water Management).
• Such controlled environments help reduce fungal diseases and ensure the overall health of plants (Irrigation Science).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

❓ What is a fogging irrigation system and how does it work?

A fogging irrigation system is a modern irrigation method that sprays water as fine mist. It is primarily used to reduce temperature and increase air humidity, which is beneficial for the growth of seedlings in controlled environments such as nurseries, greenhouses, or poly sheds. This fogging irrigation Sitakunda system works with a pump, filter, controller, and special nozzles that transform water into ultra-fine particles.

❓ What crops are being cultivated in this project in Sitakunda?

This project in Sitakunda has been installed for a nursery poly shed. Various types of seedlings are being produced here, which will later be supplied to farmers.

❓ How effective is this system in temperature control?

This fogging irrigation system has been able to reduce the temperature inside the nursery poly shed by up to 5 degrees Celsius. It creates a favorable environment for seedlings, especially during hot weather.

❓ What types of equipment are used in a fogging system?

This system uses a pump, WiFi timer, soil moisture sensor, filter, HDPE pipe, thread pipe, mist fogger, and fogger tubes and connectors. These components automatically control irrigation and the environment. Drip Irrigation BD Ltd’s fogging irrigation Sitakunda project uses top-quality components.

❓ How does this system save water and electricity?

Automated WiFi timers and soil moisture sensors ensure that irrigation is applied only as needed. This reduces water wastage and avoids unnecessary pump operation, saving both water and electricity.

❓ Does DIBL install fogging irrigation systems all over Bangladesh?

Yes, DIBL (Drip Irrigation BD Ltd) installs modern fogging, drip, and other smart irrigation systems for farmers across Bangladesh. You can contact them for customized solutions according to your needs.
