How To Choose The Agricultural Shade Cloth For Greenhouse

Agricultural Shade Cloth Main Function

The main function of the Agricultural Shade Cloth is to shield strong light and cool down the temperature. Covering the sunshade net is an important measure for the vegetable growing in the greenhouse during the hot season. However, if an inappropriate shade cloth for greenhouse is used, it will not only cause the plants to grow excessively, but also will not be conducive to flowering and fruit. Therefore, we must scientifically and reasonably choose the Agricultural Net.

In high temperature seasons, experienced vegetable growers use shade nets to shade vegetables and cool temperature. In order to protect the normal growth of agricultural plants, vegetable farmers often use agricultural shade methods to reduce the temperature in the greenhouse. In daily life, shade cloth come in many colors, some plants are covered with black shade nets, and some plants are covered with silver-gray shade nets.

The color of the sunshade net is made by adding color masterbatch during the raw material manufacturing process. According to the different needs of agricultural plants, vegetables should choose different shade nets.The effect of shade nets does not only depend on the color.

Tomatoes are light-loving crops. Tomatoes want to grow healthy and bloom early. As long as it meets the lighting time of 11 to 13 hours. The light saturation point of tomato is 70,000 lux, and the light compensation point is 30,000 to 35,000 lux. Generally, the light intensity at noon in summer is 90,000 to 100,000 lux. The black shading net has a high shading rate of up to 70%. Using black shading nets, the light intensity will not meet the normal growth requirements of tomatoes, causing poor tomato fruit quality.

Best sun shades, silver-gray, have a shading rate of 40% to 45%, and a light transmittance of 40,000 to 50,000 lux, which can meet the needs of the normal growth of tomatoes. Therefore, tomatoes are best covered with silver-gray shade net
