Planning hydroponic farm construction in Faridkot? Faridkot is a town in Faridkot district, Punjab, home to about 88,000 people (Census 2011)[1], about 330 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 Faridkot
June is the hottest month in Faridkot, with average daily highs of about 43°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 5°C.[2] Rain is scarce: about 491 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.

Which greenhouse suits Faridkot?
For hydroponic farm construction in Faridkot, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Faridkot comes with dry air. In May to July, average highs reach 43°C while average humidity is only about 36%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 43°C June afternoon down to roughly 32°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 March and November and costs less to run.
Sunlight peaks in May at about 7.0 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 March and October to November, when it is mild and fairly dry.
Hydroponic crops for Faridkot
Based on Faridkot'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 Faridkot.

Hydroponic farm construction in Faridkot: FAQs
Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Faridkot?
Yes, with the right structure. For Faridkot 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 Faridkot?
With June highs of about 43°C and 33% average humidity in that month, we would start with a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens.
Which hydroponic crops should I start with in Faridkot?
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 Faridkot?
Yes. Our nearest site is our Nashik warehouse, about 1,190 km away, and we have built 4 projects in Punjab.
Is there a subsidy for polyhouse or hydroponic farms in Punjab?
Yes. Protected cultivation projects in Punjab 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.
