Planning hydroponic farm construction in Sangamner? Sangamner is a town in Ahilyanagar district, Maharashtra, home to about 67,000 people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 120 km from Pune. We have used the monthly climate for Sangamner to plan a structure, a growing system and a crop calendar, so you can compare them with your own plot and buyers.

Which greenhouse suits Sangamner?
For hydroponic farm construction in Sangamner, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Sangamner comes with dry air. In April to May, average highs reach 39°C while average humidity is only about 38%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 39°C April afternoon down to roughly 28°C inside a Fan & Pad polyhouse, cool enough for lettuce and other leafy greens. For vine crops such as capsicum and cucumber, a naturally ventilated polyhouse with a shade screen works from July to January and costs less to run.
Plan for heavy rain in July (about 211 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank. Sunlight peaks in May at about 7.3 kWh per m² a day, so add a shade screen for leafy greens in the brightest months. A nethouse, the lowest-cost option, can grow hardy crops in October to February, when it is mild and fairly dry.
Hydroponic crops for Sangamner
Based on Sangamner's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are coriander (all year), basil (all year) and mint (all year). Coriander fits all year with Fan & Pad cooling. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Sangamner.
