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

Planning hydroponic farm construction in Sujangarh? Sujangarh is a mid-sized city in Rajasthan, home to about 1.8 lakh people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 290 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 Sujangarh

May is the hottest month in Sujangarh, with average daily highs of about 42°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 7°C.[3] Rain is scarce: about 427 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. Sujangarh sits about 312 m above sea level.[2] On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, Sujangarh falls in the hot desert zone (BWh).[4]

Which greenhouse suits Sujangarh?

For hydroponic farm construction in Sujangarh, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Sujangarh comes with dry air. In April to June, average highs reach 42°C while average humidity is only about 28%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 42°C May afternoon down to roughly 30°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 November and costs less to run.

Protected structures to compare

Sunlight peaks in May at about 7.2 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 February to March and November, when it is mild and fairly dry.

Hydroponic crops for Sujangarh

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

Hydroponic farm construction in Sujangarh: FAQs

Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Sujangarh?

Yes, with the right structure. For Sujangarh 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 Sujangarh?

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 Sujangarh?

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

Does Kryzen build hydroponic farms in Sujangarh?

Yes. Our nearest site is our Nashik warehouse, about 860 km away, and we have built 6 projects in Rajasthan.

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

Yes. Protected cultivation projects in Rajasthan 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.
