    This document provides an overview of polyhouse orientation and design for horticultural crops. It discusses how polyhouses provide a stable environment and allow for year-round cultivation. The objectives of polyhouses are to enhance productivity, promote high-value crops, improve plant propagation, and produce disease-free transplants. Key factors in polyhouse orientation include facing east-west or north-south and considering shading. The structural design must support dead and live loads, withstand winds, and use galvanized iron pipes with concrete foundations.

    AN
    PRESENTATION ON
    POLYHOUSE ORIENTATION
    SUBMITTED TO SUBMITTED BY
    Dr. S. P. Sharma Ekeshwar
    Asst. Prof. 4th Year
    Polyhouse
    INTRODUCTION

     The crops grown in open field are exposed to vivid


    environmental conditions, attack of insects and
    pests, whereas the polyhouse provides a more stable
    environment.
     It is covered with a transparent material as such
    permits entry of natural light.
    OBJECTIVES

     Enhancing productivity per unit area.


     Promotion of high value Horticulture crops under
    Polyhouses.
     Propagation of planting material to improve
    germination percentage.
     To promote high value vegetable cultivation under
    Shadenet House.
     Disease free and genetically superior transplants
    can be produced continuously.
    Advantages of Polyhouse

     Protection from excess rainfall, wind current,


    scorching sunlight and extreme cold condition.
     Humidity is maintained.
     Efficient use of CO2.
     Minimum labour requirement.
     Minimum use of water and fertilizers.
     Disease and pests can be controlled.
     Protection from birds, animals, & human activities.
     Quality of product is best.
    Disadvantages of Polyhouse

     High initial cost.


     Lack of knowledge about polyhouse technology.
     Lower replenishment of CO2 supply.
    Types of Polyhouse

     Polyhouse can be divided in to two types:


    a. Naturally ventilated Polyhouse
    b. Environmental controlled Polyhouse
    Naturally Ventilated Polyhouse

    These polyhouse do not have any


    environmental control system except
    for the provision of adequate
    ventilation and fogger system to
    prevent basically the damage from
    weather aberrations and other natural
    agents.
    Environmental controlled Polyhouse

    This type of polyhouse helps to


    extend the growing season or
    permits off-season production by
    way of controlling light,
    temperature, humidity, carbon-
    dioxide level and nature of root
    medium.
    Orientation of Polyhouse

     For single span Polyhouse, the orientation should be East-


    West
     For multi-span Polyhouse, the orientation should be North-
    South
     For vegetables, orientation should be East
     For flowers, orientation should be South
     The surrounding trees should be at a distance of 2.5 times of
    height of the tree to prevent from shading effect
     Shading from interior side is preferable for floricultural crops
     In winter, 50% shading and in summer, 100% internal
    shading is preferred to prevent excessive heat inside the
    Polyhouse.
    Orientation
    Design of Polyhouse

     Dead load: weight of all permanent construction,


    cladding, heating and cooling equipment, water
    pipes and all fixed service equipments to the frame.
     Live load: The Polyhouse has to be designed for a
    maximum of 15 kg per square meter live load. Each
    member of roof should be capable of supporting 45
    kg of concentrated load when applied at its centre.
     Wind load: The structure should be able to
    withstand winds of 110 kilometer per hour and at
    least 50 kg per square meter of wind pressure.
    Structural Design of Polyhouse

    The Polyhouses are to be fabricated out of Galvanized


    Iron Pipes. The foundation can be 60cmx60cmx60cm
    or 30 cm diameter and one meter depth in PCC of
    1:4:8 ratio. The vertical poles should also be covered to
    the height of 60 cm by PCC with a thickness of 5cm.
    This avoids the rusting of the poles.
