Which greenhouse suits Karimganj?
For hydroponic farm construction in Karimganj, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. With average highs between 24°C and 33°C through the year, Karimganj 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 June (about 539 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank.
A nethouse, the lowest-cost option, can grow hardy crops in November to March, when it is mild and fairly dry.
Hydroponic crops for Karimganj
Based on Karimganj's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are basil (11 months), cucumber (9 months) and mint (7 months). Basil fits February to December in a naturally ventilated polyhouse. Strawberry is hard to time here, so we would leave it out of the first season. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Karimganj.
