(1). Importance of a White Shadehouse

  • Low cost vegetable farming.
  • Production in all seasons.
  • More cultivation.
  • Quality of the raw products.
  • High yield.

1.1 Low cost vegetable farming

The white shadehouse is a plant growing protected structure. Similar crop growing technologies are glass houses, lath houses, poly houses, and others. Some structures like glass house and polyhouse are more technical and high cost. The materials which are used in W. S. H. are low cost.

1.2 Production in all seasons

Commercial crop growing is possible in all seasons with W. S. H. It is very necessary to uncover the sidenets during summer season to avoid the access heat. Plant propagation becomes very easy even in unfavorable conditions.

1.3 More cultivation

Many small and big farmers use W. S. H. for vegetable crop production.

The commercial scale production of the following vegetable crops gives very profitable result:

  • Indeterminate varieties of tomato.
  • Fruit chilli.
  • Chilli.
  • Gourd crops, such as bitter gourd and C. sativus.
  • Other vegetable crops.

*Tip: Cultivation of paddy straw mushroom inside Green shade house is the best option

1.4 Quality of the raw products

The following  things become  controllable inside a green house:

Temperature: The inside temperature of a W.S.H. is more during the winter season. Don’t lift the side covers or make any type of damage. To down it, lift the side covers.

Disease management: Disease infection is less as compare to open field cultivation. Soil heat treatment becomes easy because of less area are excellent layout.

Management of insect-pests: The attack of the different insect-pests is low. And, it is easily controllable.

Hence, the control of temperature, efficient management of crop diseases, and the less attack of the different insect-pests result in high quality food materials.

(2). What are the characteristics of a W.S.H.?

  • Clading material.
  • Size of the structure.
  • Polling materials.

2.1 Clading materials

Clading material is white shadent. It consists of UV stabilizer materials. The thickness of clading material depends on the producers.

2.2 Size of the structure

What should be the size of a White Shadehouse?

3.3 Yield potential is more

3.4 Proper utilization of irrigation systems, and Proper utilization of mulching

Efficient use of drip irrigation and mulches

(1). No physical damages to drip system by farm animals.
(2). Life span of drip is more.
(3). Life span of plastic mulch is more.
(4). No physical damage to the plastic mulch by farm animals.
(5). No damage to the plastic mulch by wild birds.
(5). Non physical damages to the plastic mulch by hailstorm, heavy wind, and others.

(4). Why is it used?

  • Better crop management.
  • Management of insect-pests.
  • Disease management.
  • Crop protection.
  • High yield.

(5). What should be the required qualities of a W.S.H.?

  • Long life span.
  • Low cost.
  • Strong enough to withstand hailstorm and heavy winds.
  • HDPE UV resistant clading materials.

(6). What are the different designs of a G.S.H.?

Answer: The different designs of a G.S.H. are as follows

1. Flat top + square.
2. Gothic design.
3. Other designs are not very popular.
