Hydroponic farm construction in Hisar: nFT flatbed hydroponic farm with lettuce, built by Kryzen

Planning hydroponic farm construction in Hisar? Hisar is a large city in Hisar district, Haryana, home to about 3.1 lakh people (Census 2011)[1], about 160 km from Delhi. Below we use the town's monthly temperatures, humidity and rainfall to work out which structure fits, which crops to grow and in which months, before you spend on construction.

Climate for hydroponic farm construction in Hisar

May is the hottest month in Hisar, with average daily highs of about 42°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 6°C.[2] Rain is scarce: about 470 mm a year. Water for the farm will come from a borewell, well, tanker or municipal supply, so test its salts (EC) and hardness before choosing the system. Hisar sits about 215 m above sea level.[1] On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, Hisar falls in the hot semi-arid zone (BSh).[3]

Which greenhouse suits Hisar?

For hydroponic farm construction in Hisar, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Hisar comes with dry air. In April to July, average highs reach 42°C while average humidity is only about 34%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 42°C May afternoon down to roughly 30°C inside a Fan & Pad polyhouse, which keeps herbs and vine crops going; lettuce will still struggle in the hottest weeks. For vine crops such as capsicum and cucumber, a naturally ventilated polyhouse with a shade screen works from November and costs less to run.

Protected structures to compare

Sunlight peaks in May at about 6.7 kWh per m² a day, so add a shade screen for leafy greens in the brightest months.

Hydroponic crops for Hisar

Based on Hisar's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are mint (9 months), coriander (8 months) and basil (8 months). Mint fits February to May and August to December with Fan & Pad cooling. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Hisar.

Hydroponic farm construction in Hisar: FAQs

Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Hisar?

Yes, with the right structure. For Hisar we would plan a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens. Even then, lettuce is hard to grow in May to September, so plan another crop for those months.

Which polyhouse is best for Hisar?

With May highs of about 42°C and 24% average humidity in that month, we would start with a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens.

Which hydroponic crops should I start with in Hisar?

Going by the monthly climate, mint, coriander and basil have the longest growing windows. Confirm prices and volumes with buyers before you plant.

Does Kryzen build hydroponic farms in Hisar?

Yes. Our nearest site is our Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar warehouse, about 1,030 km away.

Is there a subsidy for polyhouse or hydroponic farms in Haryana?

Yes. Protected cultivation projects in Haryana 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.
