Polyhouse farming in India involves cultivating crops within controlled, translucent structures to create a sustainable environment for the development of plants.
The major types of polyhouses are Low-tech polyhouses, Medium-tech polyhouses and Hi-tech polyhouses, depending on the technology utilised for the production of crops.
The Indian government offers subsidies for polyhouse farming, offering financial support to farmers for controlled environment structures and adopting modern agricultural practices.
Polyhouse farming techniques include advanced methods of crop cultivation in controlled environments involving precise temperature, humidity, irrigation, and nutrient management.
Challenges in polyhouse farming include high initial investment and technical expertise, which can be solved by financial incentives, training programs, and access to technology.
Polyhouse farming training programs offer farmers guidance on effective cultivation practices, technology utilisation, and management in controlled environments.
