Advantages of protected cultivation in Wanaparthy
1
આખું વર્ષ પાક
Under cover, capsicum can be grown for the whole year in Wanaparthy, so you can supply buyers every week instead of one open-field season.
2
વધુ સારું ઉત્પાદન અને ભાવ
Plants grow without rain, hail and wind damage, so yields are higher and more even, and clean, graded produce sells at a better price, especially off-season.
3
ઓછું પાણી
Drip irrigation under cover uses less water than flood irrigation, and the roof keeps September's 154 mm of rain off the crop and the soil.
4
Less pesticides
Insect net on vents and doors keeps out most pests, and controlled ventilation helps with leaf disease in the humid months (August to October), so you spray less often.

Which polyhouse suits Wanaparthy?
For polyhouse farming in Wanaparthy, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Wanaparthy comes with dry air. In April to May, average highs reach 40°C while average humidity is only about 40%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 40°C May afternoon down to roughly 31°C inside a Fan & Pad polyhouse, which keeps herbs and vine crops going; lettuce will still struggle in the hottest weeks. For vine crops such as capsicum and cucumber, a naturally ventilated polyhouse with a shade screen works from August to January and costs less to run.
Sunlight peaks in April at about 6.7 kWh per m² a day, so add a shade screen for leafy greens in the brightest months. A nethouse, the lowest-cost option, can grow hardy crops in October to January and June, when it is mild and fairly dry.
Crops for Wanaparthy
Based on Wanaparthy's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are capsicum (all year), cucumber (all year) and chilli pepper (all year). Capsicum fits all year with Fan & Pad cooling. Lilium and strawberry are hard to time here, so we would leave them out of the first season. These are the crops we would plan first for polyhouse farming in Wanaparthy.

Which crops should I grow in a polyhouse in Wanaparthy?
Going by the monthly climate, capsicum, cucumber and chilli pepper have the longest growing windows. Confirm prices and volumes with buyers before you plant.
Is polyhouse farming profitable in Wanaparthy?
It can be, if the crop, the structure and the buyers match. In Wanaparthy, capsicum and cucumber have the longest seasons under cover. Confirm prices and volumes with buyers first; our Detailed Project Report works out the cost, yield and returns for your plot.
