Polyhouse is type of advanced agriculture where you can increase production by creating same modified climate by covering a steal or bamboo structure with UV stabilized (200 micron) film. Polyhouse building is still suppose to be a difficult and highly skilled work so that consultancy charges are too high and its not possible for Indian farmer to build it by using locally available inputs. But now Govt of India and Govt. of Haryana is providing subsidy of 65 per cent, 90 per cent and 50 per cent on cost of polyhouse, irrigation system and planting material, respectively. The present research deals with the technical aspect of polyhouses and economic cost of establishment. Besides this specific parameters are also studied which are important for making the higher production inside.

Abstract


Polyhouse is type of advanced agriculture where you can increase production by creating same modified climate by covering a steal or bamboo structure with UV stabilized (200 micron) film. Polyhouse building is still suppose to be a difficult and highly skilled work so that consultancy charges are too high and its not possible for Indian farmer to build it by using locally available inputs. But now Govt of India and Govt. of Haryana is providing subsidy of 65 per cent, 90 per cent and 50 per cent on cost of polyhouse, irrigation system and planting material, respectively. The present research deals with the technical aspect of polyhouses and economic cost of establishment. Besides this specific parameters are also studied which are important for making the higher production inside.
