LIGHTLIGHT
Light: Light is a most critical factor for poly Light: Light is a most critical factor for poly house. The brightness of light is measured in house. The brightness of light is measured in LUX. For healthy growth of crop in poly house, LUX. For healthy growth of crop in poly house, minimum requirement of LUX is 50,000 to minimum requirement of LUX is 50,000 to 60,000. In India, light LUX varies from 40,000 to 60,000. In India, light LUX varies from 40,000 to 1,40, 000 hence in many parts of our country 1,40, 000 hence in many parts of our country such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, M.P. the such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, M.P. the sunlight is bright and has to be reduced by sunlight is bright and has to be reduced by using shed net. We can reduce sunlight 30%, using shed net. We can reduce sunlight 30%, 50%, 75%. The 50% shed net are common in 50%, 75%. The 50% shed net are common in India. India.

From these three types, plants use From these three types, plants use only visible light for photosynthesis. only visible light for photosynthesis. In polyhouse technology light is In polyhouse technology light is controlled in such a way that plant controlled in such a way that plant receive maximum visible light and receive maximum visible light and remaining light get reflected back i.e. remaining light get reflected back i.e. outside the polyhouse outside the polyhouse

TEMPRATURETEMPRATURE For flowers and vegetables healthy and For flowers and vegetables healthy and
maximum growth, the temp requirement is maximum growth, the temp requirement is between 26’C to 30’C during day time and between 26’C to 30’C during day time and 15’C to 18’C in night. The stele frame work 15’C to 18’C in night. The stele frame work of poly house is covered by polythene of poly house is covered by polythene hence inner temp. can rise up to 40’C. To hence inner temp. can rise up to 40’C. To control the temp inside the poly house, the control the temp inside the poly house, the ventilation as well as cooling pads and fans ventilation as well as cooling pads and fans are used. Because of this we can have are used. Because of this we can have continuous quality production of herbs continuous quality production of herbs throughout the year.throughout the year.

HUMIDITYHUMIDITY
For flowers and vegetables, and their For flowers and vegetables, and their healthy and maximum growth, we should healthy and maximum growth, we should have proper humidity. Requirement of have proper humidity. Requirement of humidity for flower production is 65% to humidity for flower production is 65% to 80% and for vegetables it is 60% to 65% 80% and for vegetables it is 60% to 65% Because of controlled humidity plant Because of controlled humidity plant growth remain continue, flower grow growth remain continue, flower grow with attractive colors and after cutting, with attractive colors and after cutting, their shelf life also increases. Humidity their shelf life also increases. Humidity helps in color combination of herbs, helps in color combination of herbs, vegetable and flowers.vegetable and flowers.

Carbon-Di-Oxide:Carbon-Di-Oxide: In our surrounding In our surrounding atmosphere CO2 conc. is 0.03% means atmosphere CO2 conc. is 0.03% means 300ppm. Plants use this CO2 for 300ppm. Plants use this CO2 for photosynthesis. In poly house, during night time photosynthesis. In poly house, during night time there is no photosynthesis but CO2 is given out there is no photosynthesis but CO2 is given out by respiration. This CO2 remain accumulated by respiration. This CO2 remain accumulated around plants hence in night compare to around plants hence in night compare to outside, polyhouse always have more CO2 outside, polyhouse always have more CO2 conc. This CO2 is again used by plants growing conc. This CO2 is again used by plants growing in poly house for rapid photosynthesis.in poly house for rapid photosynthesis.It has been proved that if poly house having It has been proved that if poly house having 1000ppm of CO2, then herbs, vegetables and 1000ppm of CO2, then herbs, vegetables and flower production increases to 4 to 5 times flower production increases to 4 to 5 times more compare to normal conditions.more compare to normal conditions.

If humidity is more in polyhouse, then If humidity is more in polyhouse, then chances of diseases and pest increases. chances of diseases and pest increases. Under such condition, side vents of Under such condition, side vents of polyhouse are opened to promote wind polyhouse are opened to promote wind movement in polyhouse. Because of wind movement in polyhouse. Because of wind movement the humidity decreases and movement the humidity decreases and chances of diseases also reduced. chances of diseases also reduced.
