Crop Requirements

Cucumbers are semi-tropical plants that thrive in warm weather with high temperatures, humidity, and light intensity. They require a minimum of 15°C (65°F) for development but are sensitive to frost and cold, which can be fatal at 1°C (32–39°F). The ideal daily average air temperature for cucumbers is 15–24°C (65–75°F), with nighttime temperatures at 18°C and daytime temperatures at 28°C.

Geographic Compatibility

Cucumbers are cultivated in almost all parts of India, thriving in different seasons across various regions. Major states include Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand. In western, northern, and central India, cucumbers are a primary summer vegetable. In North India, production peaks in May.


Annual Operating Expenses & Net Return

Cucumber polyhouses are engineered to maximize light exposure and control humidity through strategic orientation and gutter length, enhancing cross ventilation in row direction. Trellising systems are specially designed for maximum load-bearing capacity. During winter, heat retention is achieved by closing all side vents. The structure also protects crops from rain and storms, safeguarding their large, vulnerable leaves.

Frequently Asked Questions

In this video, Abhishek Bhatt, Director of Agriplast Protected Cultivation, will provide a comprehensive breakdown of why Agriplast Polyhouse outperforms other polyhouses in terms of yield. He'll elucidate on key features like superior design, Israeli technology application, and optimal environmental control. The design facilitates enhanced ventilation, ensuring ideal growing conditions. Additionally, the use of Israeli technology, tailored for Indian agricultural needs, plays a crucial role in maximizing yields. Stay tuned to gain valuable insights into how Agriplast Polyhouse revolutionizes protected cultivation for superior agricultural outcomes.

A greenhouse is a transparent structure which is made using glass where plants are grown under certain climatic conditions. The agricultural industry has got many innovations, and the greenhouse technology makes use of modern and smart technology to give optimum facilities to the plants for their better and more efficient growth all around the year. Polyhouse is a kind of greenhouse where polyethene plastic material is used to create the polyhouse instead of the use of glass.

A greenhouse is designed to grow plants even in adverse climatic conditions. The translucent glass that covers the greenhouse gives the plants enough light to let them carry the photosynthesis process easily by absorbing light energy. Since the greenhouse is in an airtight condition, a sufficient amount of sunlight makes the greenhouse warmer from within than the outer atmosphere.

Greenhouse not only warms the greenhouse from within only in summers but in winters; it allows for an artificial heating solution which is effective but is a bit expensive. Some other inexpensive ways of warming up your greenhouse are:

  • If you cover the inside of a greenhouse structure with a bubble layer wrap, you will observe a reduction in heat loss.
  • Good power supply availability will allow you to add electric fan heaters to circulate hot air within the greenhouse for the plant's growth.
  • You can also get electric greenhouse heaters installed that come with an inbuilt thermostat and works automatically when the temperature of the outer surroundings goes down.
  • Greenhouse benefits you in several different ways, which are listed below:

  • Helps in producing fresh crops at any time of the year.
  • The facility of producing the crops all around the year, even in adverse climatic conditions.
  • The greenhouse allows the farmers to create an exclusive environment for the better plant growth.
  • Protects crops from adverse climatic conditions.
  • The light energy within a greenhouse is distributed evenly to all the plants.
  • Greenhouse installation makes it easy for the farmers to grow crops with less use of pesticides.
  • Greenhouse setup helps in saving the total usage of resources.
