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

Planning hydroponic farm construction in Dewas? Dewas is a mid-sized city in Madhya Pradesh, home to about 2.9 lakh people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 360 km from Ahmedabad. This guide works from Dewas'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 Dewas

May is the hottest month in Dewas, with average daily highs of about 42°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 9°C.[3] The area gets about 1,014 mm of rain a year, most of it in June to September, peaking in July at about 333 mm. Average humidity stays at 75% or more in July to September, which raises the risk of leaf disease and slows evaporative cooling. Dewas sits about 535 m above sea level.[2] On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, Dewas falls in the tropical savanna (dry summer) zone (As).[4]

Which greenhouse suits Dewas?

For hydroponic farm construction in Dewas, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Dewas comes with dry air. In April to May, average highs reach 42°C while average humidity is only about 23%. 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 February and July to November and costs less to run.

Protected structures to compare

Plan for heavy rain in July (about 333 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank. Sunlight peaks in May at about 7.2 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 and October to December, when it is mild and fairly dry.

Hydroponic crops for Dewas

Based on Dewas's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are coriander (all year), mint (all year) and lettuce (10 months). Coriander fits all year with Fan & Pad cooling. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Dewas.

Hydroponic farm construction in Dewas: FAQs

Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Dewas?

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

Which polyhouse is best for Dewas?

With May highs of about 42°C and 26% average humidity in that month, we would start with a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens.

Which hydroponic crops should I start with in Dewas?

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

Does Kryzen build hydroponic farms in Dewas?

Yes. Our nearest site is our Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar warehouse, about 350 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.
