Polyhouse construction

Regen’s Polyhouse construction

A polyhouse is a protective agricultural structure with transparent polyethylene sheeting that creates a controlled environment to cultivate crops like high-value vegetables, flowers, and fruits. It offers numerous benefits, including extending growing seasons, regulating temperature, humidity, and light, protecting against pests and adverse weather, conserving water, and enabling year-round production, which leads to higher crop yields and improved profits for farmers.

Regen’s polyhouses represent the most advanced type of greenhouse. Our polyhouse structures are constructed from galvanised iron, and the covering materials consist of UV-stabilized polyfilm. This design takes advantage of controlled climate conditions, by optimising plant growth across various seasons. The dimensions of a Regen polyhouse range from small-scale units to large industrial buildings, accommodating diverse polyhouse farming needs based on specific requirements and available resources. Additionally, our polyfilm sheets effectively isolate the internal environment from the external conditions.

• What are the reasons farmers prefer Regen’s polyhouse to open-field cultivation?

It produces superior products: a consumer seeks premium offerings in the food sector. Providers of high-quality food items are unconcerned about their demand. A Regen’s polyhouse is a protected structure equipped with appropriate technology and instruments that provide the effective monitoring of crop development and growth. You possess the authority to regulate the water and nutrient provision in a polyhouse, as it facilitates the maintenance of industrial quality standards. Consequently, you will produce superior products that will enhance your revenues.

Intellect The climate control element in Regen’s polyhouse enables plant cultivation in regions with wholly adverse environmental conditions for agricultural production.

• Regen’s Polyhouse Monitoring Systems:

Regen’s polyhouse is equipped with several instruments to regulate temperature, humidity, and air ventilation. The fan pad system implemented in the polyhouse assists in regulating its internal temperature. Furthermore, the digital control unit and sensing devices provide the monitoring of internal climatic conditions. In Regen’s polyhouses, vegetables like cucumbers and indeterminate tomatoes are cultivated vertically. Efficient crop production methods allow cultivators to optimise space within a polyhouse, leading to a yield increase of around three to four times.

• Enhanced Yield Through Improved Productivity:

Regen’s polyhouse systems are engineered to enhance agricultural yield by about 10 to 12 times, contingent upon the crop type and necessary management measures. Growers can regulate the required temperature and provide the appropriate fertiliser supply in this polyhouse. All these elements collectively lead to optimal agricultural yields per unit area. Regen’s Polyhouse employs contemporary methods like aeroponics and hydroponics to markedly improve crop yield.

• NV-Type Regen’s Polyhouse:

NV-Type is a naturally ventilated regeneration system. The NV-Type polyhouse is a fundamental greenhouse variant equipped with climate control elements. Consequently, specific climatic circumstances influence the flora and crops within your polyhouse. We offer in situ monitoring systems for soil pH, electrical conductivity, and nutrients, in addition to drip irrigation systems, foggers, insect control systems, and ventilation controls. These systems cannot entirely regulate external conditions; however, they do affect the crop cycle and overall yield.

• EC-Type Regen’s Polyhouse:

EC-Type is an environmentally controlled polyhouse. In this type of polyhouse, we offer sophisticated instruments and technology for the monitoring and regulation of soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon, nutrients, humidity, sunshine, temperature, and other parameters. Monitoring and controlling mechanisms in a polyhouse extend the crop duration while enabling the cultivation of the season’s most exotic off-season crops.

• Benefits of Regen’s Polyhouse Agriculture:

Regen’s Polyhouses are highly advantageous for organic agriculture due to their numerous food quality and environmental benefits.

Benefits of Crops:

• Off-season crops can be cultivated. Such crops can provide more revenues due to heightened demand coupled with limited availability.
• One can relish an entire year’s harvest of crops without the necessity of awaiting seasonal cycles.
• By regulating parameters like as humidity, temperature, and sunlight, the likelihood of crop damage and loss is significantly reduced.
• A drip irrigation system offers an efficient remedy for water supply constraints. It is additionally advantageous for agricultural development.
• Advantages of Quality and Quantity:
• Enhanced management over pests and insects reduces the susceptibility of crops to damage.
• The crop quality is significantly superior.
• External environmental influences exert minimal or negligible influence on the crops. Crops benefit from a more conducive climate for growth, ultimately resulting in increased profitability.
• The application of fertiliser is significantly simplified; automated techniques can be employed to ensure each plant receives a precise quantity of fertiliser for optimal growth.
• Shortened cropping cycles enable farmers to cultivate two or three harvests annually.
• Polyhouses can possess more effective drainage and aeration systems.
• Increased CO₂ production in a polyhouse is beneficial for plant development.

• What can we cultivate in a polyhouse?

Regen’s polyhouses are presently employed to nurture nearly any crop under a synthetic canopy. These polyhouses may produce a diverse range of crops, from off-season fruit kinds to the most exotic flowers.

Most lucrative crop varieties achieved by the utilization of Regen’s polyhouses are:

• Vegetables: Broccoli, Bitter Gourd, Cabbage, Capsicum, Cauliflower, Coriander, Chilli, Cucumber, Carrots, Eggplants, Ginger, Green Beans, Leafy Greens, Lettuce, Okra, Onion, Radish, Spinach, Tomatoes, etc.
• Flowers: Roses, Gerberas, Jasmine, Anthurium, Strelitzia, Carnations, Orchids, Chrysanthemums, Gladiolus, Marigolds, etc.
• Fruits: Strawberries, Raspberries, Citrus Fruits, Watermelon, Peaches, Papayas, etc.
• Herbs: Ginger, turmeric, and others.
• Nursery Cultivations: Decorative indoor flora, cacti, vibrant exotic species, diminutive varieties, etc.

Difference Between Polyhouse and Greenhouse:

All types of protected cultivation structures are commonly known as greenhouses for their ability to create a greenhouse effect artificially by controlling the interior environment. A polyhouse is a type of greenhouse structure where UV-stabilised polyethylene is used as the cover material.

A. Greenhouse: A greenhouse is made of some kind of transparent material to create a microclimate inside the house. Different materials like glass, wood, polyethylene, etc. are used as greenhouse covers to create the microclimate. When a greenhouse is made with a glass cover, it is referred to as a glass greenhouse or glass house.

B. Polyhouse: A polyhouse is one type of greenhouse where polyethylene is used as the cover. In India, polyhouse farming is the most popular greenhouse technology for its low cost of construction. Lath house is another greenhouse technology where wood is used as the cover.

A polyhouse is economical compared to a glass house or glass greenhouse, but the latter is more durable than a polyhouse and is more suitable in cold places where it snows.
