“…The enhancement in the growth and development under shade net house is by increasing the rate of plant response to diffused sunlight inside the shade net by way of photosynthesis, and respiration resulting in longer inter nodal length and increase in the growth variables in terms of plant height. Similar results were reported by Nangare et al (2015) in tomatoes grown under green shade net, Khattak et al (2007) in exotic tomato lines and Elad et al (2007), Vethamoni and Natarajan (2008) in pepper. The Rajasekar et al (2013) reported that growing of tomato, brinjal, chilli, cucumber, radish, amaranthus and coriander under shade house conditions would be more profitable irrespective of the seasons.…”

Cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicon var cerasiforme) is small size fruits, with a bright red colour resembling to cherry and becoming popular in the retail chains which are marketed at a premium price. The field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different (35, 50 and 75 per cent) shading intensities on growth and yield (qha , respectively). Among the different shading intensities and genotypes, maximum plant height was observed in 75 per cent shading intensity and genotype KSP -113 at 30 days interval (74.70 and 60.95 cm, respectively). The minimum days to 50% flowering of cherry tomato were observed in cherry tomatoes grown under 35 per cent shading intensity (45.00 days) as compared to other shading intensities while minimum days to 50% flowering were observed in genotype KSP-113 (44.00 days). The maximum length of the cluster (9.58 cm), the weight of cluster (27.67 g), number of fruits per cluster (9.42) and number of pickings (11.67) were observed in 35 per cent shading intensities and in genotype KSP-113. The cultivation of KSP-113 genotype under 35 per cent shading intensity was found to be most sustainable for improving growth and yield of cherry tomato during the summer season.

“…This results in loose heads and subsequently lower cabbage yields and quality observed under high temperatures. The general increase in yield and quality of cabbage under netting observed in the current study is consistent with findings on pepper where Elad et al (2007) reported increased yields of two Capsicum annum cultivars when grown under shade nets compared to the no-net control.…”

“…Relative humidity is often higher under netting than outside as a result of water vapour being transpired by the crop and reduced mixing of drier air outside with that of the netted area, even when temperatures under the netting are higher than the outside (Elad et al, 2007). Reduction in radiation resulting from netting also contributes to increased relative humidity with finer mesh providing a higher shade factor than larger mesh sizes (Stamps, 1994).…”

Adverse environmental conditions have contributed to perpetual poor cabbage (Brassica oleraceae var. capitata) yields in sub-Saharan Africa. Elsewhere, net covers have been reported to provide a low-cost technology with the potential of modifying the microclimate around a crop for better performance. Two experiments were therefore conducted over a span of two seasons to determine the effects of agronet covers on microclimate modification and subsequent cabbage yield and quality. The treatments comprised cabbage plants grown under either fine mesh (0.4 mm pore diameter) or large mesh (0.9 mm pore diameter) agronet covers maintained permanently closed, or opened thrice weekly from 9 am to 3 pm and a control treatment where cabbage was grown in the open field. Net covering generally modified the microclimate by raising temperatures, relative humidity and volumetric water content but lowering photosynthetic active radiation and diurnal temperature range compared to control. The use of agronet covers resulted in better cabbage performance. The large mesh (0.9 mm) enhanced leaf stomatal conductance and chlorophyll content, and improved fresh and dry weight as well as head quality. Results of this study present the use of agronet covers as a potentially effective technology for use by small-scale farmers in protected cabbage culture in sub-Saharan Africa.

“…Elad et al (2007) and Medany et al (2008) obtained higher yields for C. annuum under net covers compared to plants grown in open fields. It seems that species of Capsicum grown under partial shade can produce higher yields.…”

Plants in the tropics are exposed to high radiation and consequently high temperature and evaporative demands throughout the year. Under these conditions, physiological processes and final yield may negatively affect crops. Responses of C. chinense to different light conditions were evaluated in open-field conditions. Two experiments were performed: In the first trial, C. chinense plants were grown under Passiflora edulis shade and under full sunlight. In the second, three light conditions (60 %, 40% and full sunlight) were assayed employing synthetic meshes. Microclimate measurements and gas exchange characteristics were evaluated. Partial shade resulted in lower VPD. Shade plants exhibited lower mean daily and total CO 2 assimilation rates compared to full sunlight plants. Partial shade induced lower stomatal aperture, regulated by light intensity; while the influence of VPD on stomata closure was less pronounced. The acclimation of sweet pepper to shade conditions was evident by lower chlorophyll Chl a/b concentrations.
