Agrishade - Knitted Uv Resistant Shade Nets , Recyclable Light Control Technology For Enhanced Crop Growth

Petrotecha s high-quality knitted Shade Nets are used in a broad variety of crops to exclude birds. Also to provide uniform shadow and to control air movement in greenhouses and nurseries. The tapes have UV resistant additives giving the net durability and longevity.
The net is recyclable and resistant to agrochemicals.
AgriShade is a series of colored Shade Nets with special optical properties which improve the utilization of solar radiation by agricultural crops. This technology can be used to stimulate physiological responses of crops, in manner which enhances their commercial value. This is an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to current labor-intensive methods (such as pruning and thinning) and use of growth regulators and other chemicals. AgriShade enables growers to control vegetative growth characteristics, such as leaf size, branch length and plant height in plants, as well as the rate of maturation and flowering. The changing annual climatic patterns and market led factors pose many challenges to the growers. Addressing these issues we have developed color spectrum solutions, in consultation with leading agricultural scientists in India. It is inferred that the Blue AgriShade light control mechanism would contribute to changing the light spectrum transmitted to the plants, reducing the spectrum of red and far-red light and increasing the blue light spectrum.
