The greenhouse can be used for round the year crop
cultivation and or nursery growing provided environmental parameters is
maintained in desirable range. The low cost natural ventilated greenhouse is developed
using bamboo and UV stabilized film (200 micron) & UV stabilized insect net
proof material (40 mesh). The cost of developed structure was around Rs. 288/m2
and developed low cost natural ventilated greenhouse can be utilized for
cultivation and or nursery growing during winter & rainy season. But the
major challenge in utilizing the developed structure occurs during summer
season due to high temperature and light intensity. The same structure can be
utilized for solar drying and or soil solarization during summer season. So the
developed low cost natural ventilated greenhouse can be utilized round the year
for multipurpose.
