India has always been an
agriculturally dominated country. Our subtropical climatic conditions are most
suitable for agriculture however, in recent years the turnout has been lower
than usual. To achieve higher productivity in the same or a lesser amount of
investment Polyhouse farming has
been on the rise. The concept of such farming is emerging in present times to
undertake adverse environmental conditions such as high temperature, excess
raining, extremely cold condition, airflow etc.
A Polyhouse is a specially constructed structure which is covered
with ultraviolet treated plastic sheets. The building-like structure is
constructed with the galvanized iron pipes. Saveer is one of the leading polyhouse manufacturers in the country providing high quality,
durable structures. Manufactured with the latest technology, these structures maintain
optimum range of humidity, temperature and carbon dioxide concentration for a
particular crop. This concept of farming is very beneficial for the agriculture
industry as production is much higher in comparison to Conventional Farming or
Open Farming. This is because here crops can be grown under an adverse climatic
condition which is not possible in open fields. Increase in production is
almost 8 to 10 times with respect to the production in an open field.
Polyhouse or research greenhouse structures
are ideal for small farmers in rural areas. Any type of land can be used
for the erection of these structures. Management of insect pests, weeds and
diseases are easier under this form of farming. Precise fertilization and
irrigation are also possible. These structures help to maintain the quality of
produce along with quantity. Moreover, certain crops can be produced around the
year for a continuous supply. Thus, the difference in demand and supply of
off-seasonal fruits and vegetable can be minimized through Polyhouse farming. Some
reputed restaurants and hotels are also using Polyhouses to get high quality of
both seasonal and off seasonal fruits & vegetables to maintain their
reputation. One can expect large scale profit in a short span of time through
Polyhouse farming.
