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

Planning hydroponic farm construction in Yevla? Yevla is a town in Nashik district, Maharashtra, home to about 50,000 people (GeoNames)[1][2], about 180 km from Pune. Below we use the town's monthly temperatures, humidity and rainfall to work out which structure fits, which crops to grow and in which months, before you spend on construction.

Climate for hydroponic farm construction in Yevla

April is the hottest month in Yevla, with average daily highs of about 40°C. January has the coolest nights, averaging 12°C.[3] The area gets about 860 mm of rain a year, most of it in June to September, peaking in July at about 221 mm. Average humidity stays at 75% or more in July to September, which raises the risk of leaf disease and slows evaporative cooling. Yevla sits about 537 m above sea level.[2] On the Köppen–Geiger climate map, Yevla falls in the hot semi-arid zone (BSh).[4]

Which greenhouse suits Yevla?

For hydroponic farm construction in Yevla, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. The heat in Yevla comes with dry air. In April to May, average highs reach 40°C while average humidity is only about 36%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 40°C April afternoon down to roughly 28°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 July to January and costs less to run.

Protected structures to compare

Plan for heavy rain in July (about 221 mm): raise the plinth, size the gutters for that month and keep drains away from the nutrient tank. Sunlight peaks in May at about 7.3 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 October to February, when it is mild and fairly dry.

Hydroponic crops for Yevla

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

Hydroponic farm construction in Yevla: FAQs

Can a hydroponic farm run all year in Yevla?

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

Which polyhouse is best for Yevla?

With April highs of about 40°C and 29% average humidity in that month, we would start with a Fan & Pad polyhouse for leafy greens.

Which hydroponic crops should I start with in Yevla?

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

Does Kryzen build hydroponic farms in Yevla?

Yes. Our nearest site is our Nashik warehouse, about 70 km away, and we have built 95 projects in Maharashtra.

Is there a subsidy for polyhouse or hydroponic farms in Maharashtra?

Yes. Protected cultivation projects in Maharashtra 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.
