Shade cloth is mainly used for shading and greenhouse cooling. With the shade cloth, instead of direct light, diffused sunlight will be allowed to enter. The design effectively protects crops from strong sunlight and reduce heat accumulation within the greenhouse. Moreover, shade cloth will reflect part of the sunlight, which ensures a 4℃-6℃ temperature reduction. Meanwhile, it is also UV resistant and protects against hail. Adopting the shade cloth could reduce potential hazards towards greenhouse roofs. Shade cloth of different shading rates should be chosen according to different requirements regarding the sunlight of crops.
Shade cloth can be used as a divider of space in greenhouses and effectively prevents fogging and dripping.
The shade cloth effectively prevents heat dissipation through radiation and heat exchange from the inner greenhouse. In this way, the energy consumption and the cost will both be reduced.
Adopting shade cloth helps reduce evaporation of crops and soils and keeps the air humidity at a proper level. It also reduces water consumption used in irrigation.
