Advantages of protected cultivation in Al Rams
1
ఏడాది పొడవునా పంటలు
A polyhouse stretches the season: in Al Rams cucumber can be grown for about 8 months a year under cover, longer than in the open field.
2
మెరుగైన దిగుబడి మరియు ధర
Plants grow without rain, hail and wind damage, so yields are higher and more even, and clean, graded produce sells at a better price, especially off-season.
3
తక్కువ నీరు
With only about 110 mm of rain a year here, drip irrigation under cover saves water: less is lost to evaporation and run-off than in the open field.
4
Less pesticides
Insect net on vents and doors keeps out most pests, so you spray less often.
Which polyhouse suits Al Rams?
For polyhouse farming in Al Rams, the structure decides which months you can crop and what it costs to run. Average highs stay at 33°C or more in May to October, with moderate humidity of about 56%. In that dry air, wet pads can bring a 38°C June afternoon down to roughly 32°C inside a Fan & Pad polyhouse, which keeps herbs and vine crops going; lettuce will still struggle in the hottest weeks. 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.
Sunlight peaks in June 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 February to April and November to December, when it is mild and fairly dry.
Crops for Al Rams
Based on Al Rams's climate, the crops with the longest growing windows are cucumber (8 months), capsicum (6 months) and tomato (6 months). Cucumber fits October to May with Fan & Pad cooling. Lilium and carnation are hard to time here, so we would leave them out of the first season. These are the crops we would plan first for polyhouse farming in Al Rams.

Kryzen planning estimate from the monthly averages above and each crop's usual day and night temperature range. Variety, soil or substrate temperature and shading change the result, so confirm with a trial.
Every project starts with your site data: plot size, water quality and the crops your buyers want. We review it with you online and prepare a project report before construction starts.
