Abstract:
Floriculture is the study of cultivation of flowers, foliage and other planting materials for the export purpose. India has best climatic conditions for growing different types of flowers throughout the country. Polyhouse is one of the best technologies to grow the quality product and get the maximum flower production in small area. To increase the use of polyhouses, government of India provides the subsidy upto 65 per cent of the total cost to the farmers. So, marginal farmers also can purchase and grow the flowers and get the maximum profits by minimum investment. Keeping the above facts in mind, the present study was planned and conducted in Panipat district of Haryana state on farmers having different floricultural units i.e. of Lilium flowers. It was found in the study that the environmental parameters i.e. light, temperature, humidity and CO₂ level were higher in natural ventilated polyhouse (NVPH) than the anti insect shade net house (AISNH) and quality of flowers was also found better in NVPH polyhouse.
