• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Polyhouse farming

A polyhouse also called polytunnel is a tunnel made of polyethelene semi-circular, square or elongated in shape. Solar radiations are used to heat up the interior. This warms the plants, soil, and other things inside the building faster than heat can escape the structure. This warmed air in interior surfaces is retained in the building by the roof and wall.Temperature, humidity and ventilation is controlled by equipment fixed in the polytunnel or by manual opening and closing of flaps. Thus plants grow under the complete controlled condition in polyhouse farming.
