Planning polyhouse farming in Mango? Mango is a mid-sized city in East Singhbhum district, Jharkhand, home to about 2.2 lakh people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 220 km from Kolkata. We have used the monthly climate for Mango to plan a structure, a growing system and a crop calendar, so you can compare them with your own plot and buyers.
Climate for polyhouse farming in Mango
May is the hottest month in Mango, with average daily highs of about 40°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 9°C.[3] The area gets about 1,477 mm of rain a year, most of it in May to September, peaking in July at about 356 mm. Average humidity stays at 75% or more in July to October, which raises the risk of leaf disease and slows evaporative cooling. On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, Mango falls in the tropical savanna (dry winter) zone (Aw).[4]

Advantages of protected cultivation in Mango
1
ఏడాది పొడవునా పంటలు
Under cover, chilli pepper can be grown for 10 months a year in Mango, so you can supply buyers every week instead of one open-field season.
2
మెరుగైన దిగుబడి మరియు ధర
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
తక్కువ నీరు
Drip irrigation under cover uses less water than flood irrigation, and the roof keeps July's 356 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 October), so you spray less often.

Which polyhouse suits Mango?
For polyhouse farming in Mango, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Mango comes with dry air. In April to May, average highs reach 40°C while average humidity is only about 45%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 40°C May afternoon down to roughly 33°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.
Plan for heavy rain in July (about 356 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank. Sunlight peaks in April at about 6.3 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 and October to November, when it is mild and fairly dry.
Crops for Mango
Based on Mango's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are chilli pepper (10 months), capsicum (9 months) and tomato (9 months). Chilli pepper fits February to November with Fan & Pad cooling. These are the crops we would plan first for polyhouse farming in Mango.

₹5,455Spending per person per month, urban Jharkhand, 2023–24[6]
220 kmto Kolkata, the nearest metro (straight line)
Urban households in Jharkhand spent an average of ₹5,455 per person per month in 2023–24, below the all-India urban average of ₹7,078.[6] Mango is large enough for steady local sales to restaurants, hotels and fruit-and-vegetable retailers. Start with a farm size that matches the orders you can confirm. Jamshedpur, about 5 km away, is the nearest larger market on our list. For premium vegetable and flower buyers, Kolkata is within a day's delivery, about 220 km away.

Polyhouse farming in Mango: FAQs
Can a polyhouse farm run all year in Mango?
Yes, with the right structure. For Mango we would plan a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens. Even then, lettuce is hard to grow in April to July, so plan another crop for those months.
Which polyhouse is best for Mango?
With May highs of about 40°C and 50% average humidity in that month, we would start with a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens.
Which crops should I grow in a polyhouse in Mango?
Going by the monthly climate, chilli pepper, capsicum and tomato have the longest growing windows. Confirm prices and volumes with buyers before you plant.
Is polyhouse farming profitable in Mango?
It can be, if the crop, the structure and the buyers match. In Mango, chilli pepper and capsicum 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.
Does Kryzen build polyhouses in Mango?
Yes. Our nearest site is our Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar warehouse, about 1,170 km away, and we have built 2 projects in Jharkhand.
Is there a subsidy for polyhouse or hydroponic farms in Jharkhand?
Yes. Protected cultivation projects in Jharkhand can apply for Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) assistance through the state horticulture department. Check the current rate and area limit when you apply.
