Which greenhouse suits Pehowa?
For hydroponic farm construction in Pehowa, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Pehowa comes with dry air. In May to June, average highs reach 42°C while average humidity is only about 31%. 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 March and November and costs less to run.
Plan for heavy rain in July (about 246 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank. Sunlight peaks in May at about 6.8 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 Pehowa
Based on Pehowa's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are coriander (10 months), mint (10 months) and basil (9 months). Coriander fits August to May with Fan & Pad cooling. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Pehowa.

Hydroponic farm construction in Pehowa: FAQs
Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Pehowa?
Yes, with the right structure. For Pehowa we would plan a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens. Even then, lettuce is hard to grow in May to August, so plan another crop for those months.
Which polyhouse is best for Pehowa?
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 Pehowa?
Going by the monthly climate, coriander, mint and basil have the longest growing windows. Confirm prices and volumes with buyers before you plant.

Yes. Our nearest site is our Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar warehouse, about 1,130 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.
