Benefits of Polyhouse Farming


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.
