Advantages of protected cultivation in Singrauli

  ஆண்டு முழுவதும் பயிர்கள்

  Under cover, chilli pepper can be grown for 10 months a year in Singrauli, so you can supply buyers every week instead of one open-field season.

  சிறந்த விளைச்சலும் விலையும்

  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

  குறைந்த நீர்

  Drip irrigation under cover uses less water than flood irrigation, and the roof keeps July's 296 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 (July to September), so you spray less often.

Which polyhouse suits Singrauli?

For polyhouse farming in Singrauli, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Singrauli comes with dry air. In April to June, average highs reach 42°C while average humidity is only about 33%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 42°C May afternoon down to roughly 30°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 February and August to November and costs less to run.

• 

  NethouseShade net and insect net. The lowest-cost protected structure. (புதிய தாவலில் திறக்கும்)

Plan for heavy rain in July (about 296 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank. Sunlight peaks in May at about 6.9 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 February to March and October to December, when it is mild and fairly dry.
