Planning hydroponic farm construction in Tuensang? Tuensang is a small town in Tuensang district, Nagaland, home to about 37,000 people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 770 km from Kolkata. 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 Tuensang
June is the hottest month in Tuensang, with average daily highs of about 29°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 7°C.[3] The area gets about 1,700 mm of rain a year, most of it in April to September, peaking in July at about 326 mm. Average humidity stays at 75% or more in June to November, which raises the risk of leaf disease and slows evaporative cooling. Tuensang sits about 1,371 m above sea level, so nights run cooler than in the plains around it.[2] On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, Tuensang falls in the subtropical highland with dry winters zone (Cwb).[4]

Which greenhouse suits Tuensang?
For hydroponic farm construction in Tuensang, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. With average highs between 18°C and 29°C through the year, Tuensang 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 326 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank.
Based on Tuensang's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are coriander (all year), mint (11 months) and basil (9 months). Coriander fits all year in a naturally ventilated polyhouse. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Tuensang.
