Technically Reviewed ~TANYA TOMAR Polyhouse farming is not about replacing traditional agriculture — it is about creating a controlled environment that helps crops perform at their best under changing climatic conditions.
Polyhouse farming is an advanced cultivation method where crops are grown inside a specially designed structure covered with transparent UV-stabilised polyethylene film. The structure creates a protected growing environment that helps minimise the impact of harsh weather conditions while supporting healthier crop development.
Unlike conventional open-field farming, a polyhouse allows growers to better manage factors such as temperature, humidity, irrigation, and crop protection. This controlled environment enables consistent crop growth, efficient resource utilisation, and improved production quality throughout different seasons.
Today, polyhouse farming is widely adopted for cultivating high-value vegetables, flowers, herbs, and specialty crops, making it an important component of modern protected agriculture
