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

Planning hydroponic farm construction in Srinivaspur? Srinivaspur is a small town in Kolar district, Karnataka, home to about 27,000 people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 80 km from Bengaluru. This guide works from Srinivaspur'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 Srinivaspur

April is the hottest month in Srinivaspur, with average daily highs of about 36°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 13°C.[3] The area gets about 815 mm of rain a year. The wettest months are August to October, peaking in October at about 150 mm. Average humidity stays at 75% or more in August to December, which raises the risk of leaf disease and slows evaporative cooling. Srinivaspur sits about 819 m above sea level.[2] On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, Srinivaspur falls in the tropical savanna (dry winter) zone (Aw).[4]

Which greenhouse suits Srinivaspur?

For hydroponic farm construction in Srinivaspur, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. Average highs stay at 33°C or more in March to May, with moderate humidity of about 51%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 36°C April afternoon down to roughly 29°C inside a Fan & Pad polyhouse, cool enough for lettuce and other leafy greens. Capsicum, cucumber and tomato do well in a naturally ventilated polyhouse with a shade screen. If you want one structure, decide by crop: greens all year point to Fan & Pad; vine crops point to a naturally ventilated house.

Protected structures to compare

Sunlight peaks in April at about 6.7 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 November to February and May to July, when it is mild and fairly dry.

Hydroponic crops for Srinivaspur

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