High rate of sunlight can cause wilting and drying of leaves in some crops and flowers. Similarly, cold conditions can cause some fungal and leave drying conditions in certain crops.

Knitted shade net fabric is a material bonded with HDPE component that has a UV treatment added on its material. This means that you can use your shade nets throughout the year, in the presence of good or bad weather.
Stable and strong strands of knitted shade net ropes enhance maximum resistance to tear and wind damage. This strength is important to withstand heavy winds that are often a problem to greenhouse structures. Areas of heavy winds and high humidity require lower quality and strong high shade net filtration levels to curb wind effect on crops.
