EL Cultivo

We are engaged in offering a wide range of Butterfly Green House to our clients. Our range of all products is widely appreciated by our clients.

Greenhouse play a significant role in protecting plants from continuously changing weather and climatic conditions like heat, sun-light, and wind. This will help the plants grow at any time of the year. Every factor affecting the yield can be controlled in polyhouse farming.

Polyhouses are also known as polytunnels, tire green-houses, or over-head tunnels. It is generally a poly-ethylene tunnel, typically square, semi-circular, or lengthened.

The internal environment heats-up quickly because solar radiations heat the soil, plants, and other objects present in the polyhouse. The roof and walls of the polyhouse keep the internal heat trapped. Because of which the process of heat escaping from the polyhouse is very slow which keeps heating the plants and soil.
The main purpose of green/poly house is to protect cultivation from biotic (disease-causing organism i.e. insects, pests) and abiotic stresses (climatic factors i.e. Temperature, humidity etc.) which cause a major decrease in production (up to 90%). A normal greenhouse which costs 200-350 INR/square meter are most common in India (over 90% of total protected cultivation) but it is not that effective because of manual operations and labour requirement. Semi-automatic and normal greenhouses also have some facility like sprinklers, dripping system, fans and pads facility but the overall operation is done manually by assuming climatic parameters manually. It requires good sense and knowledge of climatic parameters as well as physical presence is required every time. 

Advantages of Polyhouse Farming:

Polyhouse is very desirable for organic farming because of its several food and environmental benefits. Some of the important benefits of polyhouse agriculture are listed below:

Crop Advantages:

• You can grow off-season crops. Such crops can yield higher profits as they are in increased demand with little supply.

• You can enjoy a whole year's yield of crops without having to wait for the season’s rotations.

• As you are controlling the factors like humidity, temperature, and sunlight, etc. There are very few chances of crop damage and loss.

• A drip irrigation system provides an effective solution for the scarcity of water supply. It is also more beneficial for crop growth.

 

Quality and Quantity Advantages:

 

• There is more control over pests and insects and your crops are less prone to lose due to them.

• The quality of the crop is relatively much higher.

• External environmental factors have little or no effect on the crops. Crops have a more favourable environment available for growth which eventually translates into higher profits.

• Fertiliser application becomes much easier, you can even use automated systems to make sure each plant is getting a definite amount of fertiliser for optimum growth.

• Reduced cropping period helps farmers to get 2 or 3 corps per year.

• Polyhouse can have more efficient drainage and aeration mechanisms.

• More production of CO2 in a polyhouse is useful for plant growth.
