GENRAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE BMCC AGRO Green House Structures

A Green House is a framed structure made of Gi Pipe/MS angle/Wood /Bamboo and covered with a transparent/translucent material fixed to frame with grippers. Besides irrigation, it has control /monitoring equipment, which is considered necessary for controlling environmental factors such as temperature, light, relative humidity etc. and is necessary for maximizing plant growth and productivity. Thus, the Green House is an enclosed area, in which crops are grown under par tally or fully controlled conditions. The cladding material is of plastic (polyethylene ) film and acts like as elective radiation filter that allows solar radiation to pass thought it but traps the thermal radiation emitted by the inside objects to create Green House effect.

The greenhouse protects the plants from adverse climatic condition and provides an appropriate amount of light, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide etc. to achieve optimum yield with excellent quality. The reason for building a green house is to get faster growth by raising humidity and controlling temperatures. Labor, energy and capital are the major three cost factors in a typical modern green house production system. Green House technology is highly relevant under Indian conditions due to variant agro climatic conditions of the country.

It is known fact that traditional farming is not affordable due to various reasons. The Basic problem is no control over climatic condition & natural hazards. As a result the quality of Agriculture produce & the yield is much inferior as well as the market realization is very low. Hence Agriculture has as been treated as risky business. Therefore the latest technologies are being adapted by farmers to get optimum yield and quality. The necessity of Greenhouse technology is mainly because of these factors. The advance techniques of cultivation are to be used for commercial & profitable farming.

In recent years there has been tremendous potential for flower as well as vegetable consumption. The cut flowers and color capsicum can only be grown in covered cultivation with the help of Green house technology, which has very good market & prices. This technology would enhance the quality as well as quantity of produce, reduces the risk of cultivation & minimizes the production cost. As a result Greenhouse cultivation has become a profitable and commercial activity. Most of the required parameters are controlled in the Greenhouse like temperature, humidity level of carbon dioxide, sunlight etc. which helps plants to grow more, to give maximum yield & best quality by providing good resistance against pest & diseases. The Gerbera Carnation Roses, Capsicum and many more flowers and vegetables are grown easily & successfully in the Greenhouse. The cultivation practices are now standardized, easily available & have shown provided result.

AVAILABILITY OF INPUTS AND OUTPUTS 1. Planting material: Colour Capsicum planting materials is originally from seeds produced by well-known Companies. Their Indian counter parts (agents) are supplying this type of plants from their nursery. The quality of plants as well as after sales service is provided by these Companies. 2. Other Inputs: Other inputs like civil work, Greenhouse materials. Irrigation Labours are locally available. 3. Area for Cultivation: 4000 sq.mtrs for the cultivation of capsicum 4. Sought for Subsidy: Central Govt. (NHM) National Horticulture Missing Offers 50% subsidy against cost of the project in the district of mission and other district where mission Scheme are not available the Government of Andhra Pradesh would provide subsidy as per NHM scheme. Government Benefit as a subsidy. Looking at the advantages of Green House technology, the Government of India has been providing financial assistance for adoption of naturally Ventilated Greenhouse and Green house with fan and pad Cooling System (Naturally ventilated Greenhouse) under the National Horticulture Mission (NHM) and Director of Horticulture (Govt. of Andhra Pradesh) for non NHM District. NHM scheme is centrally sponsored schemes for holistic development of horticulture in the country. The pattern of assistance is 50% of the cost limited to an area of 4000 sq.mtrs per beneficiary.

National committee on Plasticulture Application in Horticulture (NCPAH) has prepared this reference a manual as already reference for farmers, entrepreneurs, scheme implementing officials & related practitioners on green house. The focus of the manual is to provide information on basic concepts, design and technical specifications, optimal temperature band for different crops, drop cycle of vegetables, cost economics etc. It is hoped that the reference manual would helped all stakeholders & end user to make maximum advantages by adopting Green house Technology for changing lives and spreading smiles for millions of beneficiaries in the country.
