Tomato, Agriculture, Production, Cost.

Agriculture is the backbone of India. Agriculture sector plays an essential role in providing food to the state or nation; generates employment opportunities and provides raw material to the industrial sector. Haryana’s immense potential is in the agriculture sector. This segment produces around 28 percent of the GDP and provides business/employment to more than 60 percent of the population of India. It is the prime arbiter for fulfilling the daily needs of 70% of India's population living in the rural area (Dahiya & Singh, 2017). Indian agriculture contributes to 8% of global agriculture gross domestic product to support 18% of world population on only 9% of world`s area and 2.3% of geographical area (Masood & Tabassum, 2014). But Indian farmers confront a few difficulties such as small land holding, less yield due to dependence on inefficient methods of farming, too much reliance on natural phenomena such as rainfall and lack of knowledge of modern packages of practice or modern methods of agriculture. Polyhouse technology is the technique of providing favorable environmental conditions to the plants. This is possible by erecting a polyhouse where the environmental conditions are so modified that one can grow any plant in any place at any time.
