More recently, Colored Shade Netting For Vineyard is widely used. Many colors of sun shade nettingcan be found in the market.Colored sunshade netting (shade cloth) designed specifically for manipulating plant development and growth has become available.
Netting has the capability of reducing bird damage and sunburn damage compared to the no net treatment.Netting can also reduce damage caused by hail, insects, excessive radiation,etc.These nets can be used outdoors as well as in greenhouses.
Colored shade sun nettinghave been used with different types of crops. Birds’ scared colors such as red and blue, intimidate them and make them afraid to get close.Colored netting was also shown to affect berry size ,quality,weight and the rate of fruit maturation, .In general, red netting increases plant growth with larger stems, branches and leaves in vegetable crops and in table grapes, and can be used for delaying fruit maturation. Black netting can be used to reduce light intensity in more extreme weather and environmental conditions to prevent plant and crop damage.Black netting can also be used for delaying maturation.In some locations, light-scattering nets (pearl, white) induce early maturation, allowing product to go to market earlier and improving berry size and quality.
It appears that if netting is used, colour enhancement and careful management of vigour is required to achieve good quality fruit.
