Planning hydroponic farm construction in Tezpur? Tezpur is a mid-sized city in Sonitpur district, Assam, home to about 1 lakh people (Census 2011)[1], about 640 km from Kolkata. We have used the monthly climate for Tezpur to plan a structure, a growing system and a crop calendar, so you can compare them with your own plot and buyers.
Climate for hydroponic farm construction in Tezpur
May is the hottest month in Tezpur, with average daily highs of about 33°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 10°C.[2] The area gets about 1,630 mm of rain a year, most of it in April to September, peaking in July at about 290 mm. Average humidity stays at 75% or more in June to December, which raises the risk of leaf disease and slows evaporative cooling. Tezpur sits about 48 m above sea level.[1] On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, Tezpur falls in the tropical savanna (dry winter) zone (Aw).[3]

Which greenhouse suits Tezpur?
For hydroponic farm construction in Tezpur, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. With average highs between 22°C and 33°C through the year, Tezpur suits a naturally ventilated polyhouse for most crops. Fan & Pad cooling is rarely needed; spend the budget on good ventilation, insect net and a shade screen. Plan for heavy rain in July (about 290 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank.
A nethouse, the lowest-cost option, can grow hardy crops in February to March and October to November, when it is mild and fairly dry.
Hydroponic crops for Tezpur
Based on Tezpur's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are basil (11 months), mint (9 months) and cucumber (9 months). Basil fits February to December in a naturally ventilated polyhouse. Strawberry is hard to time here, so we would leave it out of the first season. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Tezpur.

Hydroponic farm construction in Tezpur: FAQs
Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Tezpur?
Yes, with the right structure. For Tezpur we would plan a naturally ventilated polyhouse. Even then, lettuce is hard to grow in June to September, so plan another crop for those months.
Which polyhouse is best for Tezpur?
With May highs of about 33°C and 72% average humidity in that month, we would start with a naturally ventilated polyhouse.
Which hydroponic crops should I start with in Tezpur?
Going by the monthly climate, coriander, mint and basil have the longest growing windows. Confirm prices and volumes with buyers before you plant.
Does Kryzen build hydroponic farms in Tezpur?
Yes. Our nearest site is our Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar warehouse, about 1,930 km away, and we have built 2 projects in Assam.
Is there a subsidy for polyhouse or hydroponic farms in Assam?
Yes. Protected cultivation projects in Assam can apply for Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) assistance through the state horticulture department. Check the current rate and area limit when you apply.
