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

Planning hydroponic farm construction in Reengus? Reengus is a small town in Sikar district, Rajasthan, home to about 26,000 people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 210 km from Delhi. This guide works from Reengus'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.

Which greenhouse suits Reengus?

For hydroponic farm construction in Reengus, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Reengus 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 September to November, when it is mild and fairly dry.

Hydroponic crops for Reengus

Based on Reengus's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are coriander (11 months), mint (10 months) and basil (9 months). Coriander fits July to May with Fan & Pad cooling. These are the crops we would plan first for hydroponic farm construction in Reengus.

Hydroponic farm construction in Reengus: FAQs

Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Reengus?

Yes, with the right structure. For Reengus 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 Reengus?

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 Reengus?

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

Does Kryzen build hydroponic farms in Reengus?

Yes. Our nearest site is our Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar warehouse, about 830 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.
