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

Planning hydroponic farm construction in Ramngarh? Ramngarh is a small town in Rajasthan, home to about 30,000 people (GeoNames)[1], about 250 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 Ramngarh

May is the hottest month in Ramngarh, with average daily highs of about 41°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 7°C.[2] Rain is scarce: about 472 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. On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, Ramngarh falls in the hot semi-arid zone (BSh).[3]

Which greenhouse suits Ramngarh?

For hydroponic farm construction in Ramngarh, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Ramngarh comes with dry air. In May to June, average highs reach 41°C while average humidity is only about 31%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 41°C May afternoon down to roughly 29°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 7.1 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 Ramngarh

Based on Ramngarh's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are mint (10 months), coriander (9 months) and basil (9 months). Mint fits February to May and July to December with Fan & Pad cooling. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Ramngarh.

Hydroponic farm construction in Ramngarh: FAQs

Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Ramngarh?

Yes, with the right structure. For Ramngarh 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 Ramngarh?

With May highs of about 41°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 Ramngarh?

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 Ramngarh?

Yes. Our nearest site is our Nashik warehouse, about 820 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.
