Naturally Ventilated Polyhouse (NVPH - Type II)

Engineered to maintain optimal thermal stability, humidity control, and vector exclusion for Export-Grade Cut Rose (Dutch Rose).

Commercial Highlights:
  • India’s #1 commercial floriculture crop for national weddings, Valentine’s Day, and Middle East/European export
  • Long-term multi-year asset: Single planting produces premium cut stems for 5 to 6 years
  • Yields 180 to 220 A-grade stems per square meter annually (approx 1,80,000 to 2,00,000 stems/1000 sq.m)
  • Requires mastering the "bending" technique to build a photosynthetic bottom canopy (basal canopy)

Rose Thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis)

गुलाब का थ्रिप्स
Symptoms:Distorted flower buds, brown scorching edges on petals, failure of bud opening (blind wood).
Immediate Cultural Action:Install yellow and blue sticky traps; dip cut stems immediately in cold preservative pulsing solution.
Prescribed Bio / Chemical Remedy:Spinosad 45% SC @ 0.3 ml/L or Thiamethoxam 25% WG @ 0.3 g/L.

Black Spot & Die-back (Diplocarpon rosae & Colletotrichum)

काला धब्बा एवं डाइबैक रोग
Symptoms:Circular black spots with fringed margins on upper leaf surface followed by leaf drop; blackened die-back of pruned canes.
Immediate Cultural Action:Apply copper paste to cut ends immediately after harvesting or desuckering.
Prescribed Bio / Chemical Remedy:Trifloxystrobin 25% + Tebuconazole 50% WG @ 0.5 g/L.
SOP Guidelines

5 Golden Polyhouse Management Rules for Export-Grade Cut Rose (Dutch Rose)

1

Always plant top-worked budded plants grafted on Rosa multiflora or Rosa indica var. odorata rootstock for nematode resistance.

2

Practice regular "shoot bending": bend all blind shoots below 45 cm horizontally to create a rich green leaf photosynthetic cushion.

3

Maintain post-harvest cold chain: immediately place cut flower stems in chilled buckets with pulsing solution (STS + 2% Sucrose) at 2°C–4°C for 6 hours.

4

Grade stems into export standards: 40-50 cm, 50-60 cm, 60-70 cm, and 70+ cm with 20-stem bunches packed in corrugated sleeves.
