The tunnel is removed after the weather is favorable for the crop. In this way farmers can grow early crops in poly-tunnels.

With polytunnel technique, vegetable seedlings can be successfully prepared in any season of the year, whether it is hot or cold.
On preparing plants by this method, the seed deposition is almost 100%. Plants develop properly after deposition. This is because the temperature inside the polytunnel is ideal for seed deposition and plant growth.
By growing plants in polytunnel, remove the polythene during the day after seed setting, due to which the plants are hardened due to exposure to sunlight, transplanting such plants in the field, their mortality rate is negligible.
