Which greenhouse suits Mayang Imphal?

For hydroponic farm construction in Mayang Imphal, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. With average highs between 22°C and 30°C through the year, Mayang Imphal 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 218 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank.
