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

Planning hydroponic farm construction in Sausar? Sausar is a small town in Chhindwara district, Madhya Pradesh, home to about 27,000 people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 480 km from Hyderabad. This guide works from Sausar's own monthly climate to suggest the protected structure, the hydroponic system and the crops to start with, and the months each crop is likely to do well.

Climate for hydroponic farm construction in Sausar

May is the hottest month in Sausar, with average daily highs of about 43°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 12°C.[3] The area gets about 1,092 mm of rain a year, most of it in June to September, peaking in July at about 318 mm. Average humidity stays at 75% or more in July to September, which raises the risk of leaf disease and slows evaporative cooling. Sausar sits about 352 m above sea level.[2] On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, Sausar falls in the tropical savanna (dry summer) zone (As).[4]

Which greenhouse suits Sausar?

For hydroponic farm construction in Sausar, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Sausar comes with dry air. In April to May, average highs reach 43°C while average humidity is only about 24%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 43°C May afternoon down to roughly 31°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 July to January and costs less to run.

Protected structures to compare

Plan for heavy rain in July (about 318 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank. Sunlight peaks in May at about 7.0 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 October to February, when it is mild and fairly dry.

Hydroponic crops for Sausar

Based on Sausar's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are basil (all year), coriander (11 months) and mint (11 months). Basil fits all year with Fan & Pad cooling. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Sausar.

Urban households in Madhya Pradesh spent an average of ₹5,589 per person per month in 2023–24, below the all-India urban average of ₹7,078.[5] Local demand in Sausar may be small for exotic greens, so plan where the rest of the harvest goes.

Hydroponic farm construction in Sausar: FAQs

Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Sausar?

Yes, with the right structure. For Sausar we would plan a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens. Even then, lettuce is hard to grow in April to June, so plan another crop for those months.

Which polyhouse is best for Sausar?

With May highs of about 43°C and 25% average humidity in that month, we would start with a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens.

Which hydroponic crops should I start with in Sausar?

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

Does Kryzen build hydroponic farms in Sausar?

Yes. Our nearest site is our Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar warehouse, about 410 km away, and we have built 8 projects in Madhya Pradesh.

Is there a subsidy for polyhouse or hydroponic farms in Madhya Pradesh?

Yes. Protected cultivation projects in Madhya Pradesh 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.
