Plant Production:
Production of Selected Vegetables under Shade Netting

Project Proposals for 2006 - Group H

A selected number of vegetables will be grown under shade netting at the Experimental Farm of the University of Pretoria. At the Farm, there are 10 shade net structures consisting of white, black, green or orange netting with different percentages of light transmittance (e.g. 10%, 40%, 70% shading). Growth and yield performance of the vegetables grown under the various shade nets will be evaluated. Data collected will be analyzed to determine the best color net and percentage shade preference of the selected vegetables.
