Which greenhouse suits Mahendragarh?
For hydroponic farm construction in Mahendragarh, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Mahendragarh comes with dry air. In April to June, average highs reach 42°C while average humidity is only about 28%. 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 November and costs less to run.
Sunlight peaks in May at about 6.8 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 Mahendragarh
Based on Mahendragarh's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are coriander (9 months), mint (9 months) and basil (8 months). Coriander fits August to April with Fan & Pad cooling. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Mahendragarh.

Hydroponic farm construction in Mahendragarh: FAQs
Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Mahendragarh?
Yes, with the right structure. For Mahendragarh we would plan a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens. Even then, lettuce is hard to grow in May to September, so plan another crop for those months.
Which polyhouse is best for Mahendragarh?
With May highs of about 42°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 Mahendragarh?
Going by the monthly climate, coriander, mint and basil have the longest growing windows. Confirm prices and volumes with buyers before you plant.

Yes. Our nearest site is our Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar warehouse, about 940 km away.
Is there a subsidy for polyhouse or hydroponic farms in Haryana?
Yes. Protected cultivation projects in Haryana 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.
