Do I need a polyhouse for broccoli or can I grow it in the open field?
Open field or polyhouse for broccoli, which is better?

Broccoli is generally grown well as an open field crop in the cool season and does not need a polyhouse in most plains and hill areas. A polyhouse or net house is only worth it if you want off-season production when open field heading would fail in heat, and that off-season window is where the higher price is. For most small farmers the economic choice is open field in winter, with a polyhouse only if you already have one and want to stretch the season. Decide based on whether you have a confirmed off-season buyer who will pay the premium, and check this with your local horticulture office.

Open field in winter near Nashik works fine for me. I would not build a polyhouse just for broccoli unless you can sell in the hot months when no one else has it.
