Climate control and light wave manipulation in agricultural and horticultural industries
The brand name SpectraNet aptly describes the product’s ability to manipulate and alter the quantity, quality and relationship of blue, green, red and far-red wavelength energies absorbed by plants.
Four fundamental factors that impact on the physiology of plants are:
- Photosynthesis
- Photomorphogenesis
- Transpiration
- Respiration
SpectraNet plays a major role in all these areas, by manipulating and altering the quantity and quality of photosynthetic active radiation energy absorbed by plants. Photosynthesis is driven by temperature, light intensity, light quality, light duration, carbon dioxide quantity, water quality and nutrients to produce energy (sugars) for plant growth and food production. Photomorphogenesis on the other hand is light-mediated changes in plant growth and development.
The plant’s size, shape and appearance are influenced by the relationship of blue, green, red and far-red wavelengths absorbed by the plant. SpectraNet’s light transmittance factors vary from 4% to 96% dependent upon the colour and pattern of the netting.
SpectraNet Protects Crops
Well-constructed shade houses and structures using SpectraNet shade netting enables the grower to create an ideal protected microclimate and produce high-quality seedlings, fruit, vegetables, pot plants and cut flowers.
SpectraNet will provide protection against excessive photosynthetic radiation, heat, strong winds and UV burn. It creates an environment for optimal growth and yield. It also ensures good air circulation, with excellent moisture exchange resulting in large savings in water.
