Greenhouse Farming Training in India:

Today, we talk about centers of greenhouse farming training.

Introduction:

In India,  agriculture is referred to as the backbone, and the circumstances in the last 50 years have indicated the correlation between agricultural growth and economic prosperity. The agricultural scenario at present is a mix of outstanding achievements and missed opportunities. India to merge as an economic power in the world, we need agricultural productivity that equals us with other countries. We should implement effective technology to improve the productivity, profitability, sustainability of our major farming systems. One such technology is the greenhouse technology. Although it is centuries old, it is new to India.

Greenhouse Technology:

Agriculture is a combination of art and science. In world  95% of plants, food crops or cash crops are grown in the open field. Our traditional way to grow plants is under natural environmental conditions. But in caseof temperate regions where the climatic conditions are no suitable to grow crops, man has developed latest methods of growing some high-value crop round the year, in a protected environment, which is called as Greenhouse Technology. Greenhouse Technology is the method of growing crops by providing favorable environment around the year. This mode of cultivation will protect the crop from the adverse climatic conditions like wind, cold, precipitation, excessive radiation, extreme temperature, insects and diseases. Creating an ideal microclimate around the plants is a vital role in this technology. This can be done by building a greenhouse/glass house, where the environmental conditions are controllable and modified to grow any plant in any place at any time by providing suitable environmental conditions with minimum labor.

Greenhouses using polls(steel or plastic) covered with transparent materials where the grow crops under partial or fully controlled environmental conditions generate optimum growth and productivity.

Advantages of greenhouses:

Greenhouse farming Status in India:

In India, greenhouse cultivation is implemented only during the 1980s and it was mainly used for research activities. The reason for this can be, our self-sufficiency in food grain production. But in recent years the impact of the globalization of the international market and a tremendous boost for export of agricultural produce has increased the demand for greenhouse technology. At early days Greenhouses are being built in the Ladakh region to the extent the growing season of vegetables from 3 to 8 months. In the North-East, greenhouses are being constructed essentially as rain shelters to permitoff-season vegetable production. In  Northern regions, seedlings of vegetables and flowers are being raised in the greenhouses for capturing the early markets or to improve the quality of the seedlings. Several commercial floriculture ventures are coming up in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka states to meet the demands of both domestic and export markets. The commercial utilization of greenhouses started from 1988onwards and now with the introduction of Government’s liberalization policies and developmental initiatives, several corporate houses have entered to set up 100% export-oriented units. In just four years, since the implementation of the new policies in 1991, 103 projects with foreign investment of more than Rs.80 crores have been approved to be set up in the country at an estimated cost of more than Rs.1000 crores aroundPune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Delhi.
