1. Greenhouse / Polyhouse Establishment & Regional Agricultural Challenge

Academic researchers and botany students at the University of Dhaka needed a compact, high-precision soilless research facility inside a UV-protected poly-canopy to study nutrient uptake, root-zone dissolved oxygen, and heavy-metal-free urban leafy vegetable production without requiring large field plots.

2. Drip Irrigation BD Ltd. (DIBL) High-Tech Engineering & Soilless Implementation

Drip Irrigation BD Ltd. (DIBL) engineered and commissioned a multi-tier Vertical Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) hydroponic system inside a protective poly-roof enclosure at Dhaka University. The installation features UV-stabilized food-grade uPVC channels mounted on galvanized steel frames, a submerged recirculation pump with venturi aeration, micro-tube emitter manifolds, and balanced Stock A & B macro/micronutrient reservoirs.

3. Agronomic Yield, Resource Savings & Commercial Return on Investment

The Dhaka University vertical NFT facility now serves as a premier urban research and demonstration benchmark in central Dhaka—achieving 90% water conservation, zero soil-borne pathogens, and year-round experimental harvests within a 35-day cycle.
