Protected Farming at affordable price

The agricultural industry is already facing a lot of hardships because of the extreme weather conditions and the change in the pattern of rainfall every year. There have been new changes in the agriculture industry as now it can be practised almost everywhere instead of those farming patterns that were limited to just one place.

It’s the time when you can cultivate almost anything and anywhere. But how? The invention of the net house was one of the modern inventions in agriculture that have helped the industry grow a lot.

A net house is a kind of greenhouse. A net house is a mechanical structure made using galvanized steel covered by nets or insect nets. Such net houses allow an only appropriate amount of heat, air and moisture to pass through them to create the required climatic conditions for the better growth of the plant. This way the net houses allow the plants to grow the healthiest. A net house is a future of farming that everybody is looking forward to. It is only because it can withstand the harsh climatic conditions in areas like Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, where there is also low water supply and other situations that make farming with traditional methods hard. This is where the Net House Farming comes into existence. Let’s read on to learn more about what is a net house, net house farming and the greenhouse net benefit for the agricultural field.

Different Shade Factors before you buy a Net House

Before you buy a shade net house, it is significant to understand the different Shade Factors available in a net house. Net houses are designed using polyethene material, but they come in various Shade Factors like 40% Shade Factor implies that 40% light intensity will be blocked, and the rest 60% light intensity will be allowed to pass through the shade net.

Types of Net Houses

Flat Roof Shade Net Houses

Flat roof shade net houses are agricultural structures designed to regulate light intensity, effectively controlling the amount of heat and light that enters the space. These net houses feature flat roofs made from polyethylene and are supported by materials such as bamboo, wood, or galvanized steel pipes. The primary function of these shade net houses is to create an optimal environment for crop cultivation by moderating temperature and light conditions. These structures are especially beneficial for growing vegetables during the off-season, as well as cultivating exceptional fruits and flowers that require specific environmental conditions. By investing in flat roof shade net houses, farmers can meet the seasonal demands for a variety of crops, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality produce throughout the year. The controlled environment provided by these net houses not only enhances crop productivity but also improves the overall quality of the produce. This makes them an invaluable asset for modern agricultural practices, allowing farmers to maximize their yields and profitability. Additionally, the versatility of flat roof shade net houses makes them suitable for various types of farming operations, from small-scale farms to larger commercial enterprises.

Dome Shaped Shade Net Houses

Dome-shaped shade net houses are specifically designed to control light while catering to diverse customer requirements in terms of dimensions and sizes. Unlike flat roof shade net houses, these structures boast an ergonomic and visually appealing design, providing better air circulation and even light distribution. The dome shape also allows for efficient water runoff and reduced wind resistance, making them more durable and less prone to damage.

These net houses require minimal maintenance due to their sturdy construction and effective design, which minimizes wear and tear. Farmers prefer dome-shaped shade net houses for their ability to create optimal growing conditions for various crops, including vegetables, fruits, and flowers. They protect plants from harsh weather while ensuring adequate light control, essential for healthy crop growth.

The flexibility in dimensions and sizes allows for customization based on specific farming needs, making them suitable for both small-scale and large-scale agricultural operations. Dome-shaped shade net houses offer a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution, enhancing the working environment for farmers and contributing to better crop management, increased productivity, and improved crop yield and quality.

What is the difference between greenhouse and polyhouse?

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.

What is the working of a greenhouse?

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.

How do we keep the greenhouse warmer during winters?

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:

What are the benefits of a greenhouse?

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.
