Choosing the correct shade percentage is the most critical step for farm and greenhouse planting. Many growers often make mistakes: using too dense net causes insufficient light and slow crop growth, while too sparse net cannot block strong sunlight, high temperature and ultraviolet radiation. This will directly lead to poor growth, low yield and even plant death in summer.
Different crops require completely different shading rates. Professional agricultural shade net provides precise shading options from 30% to 90%, which can match various planting scenarios perfectly. For common fruit and solanaceous vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, 30%–40% shade net is the best choice. It blocks harsh midday sunlight while ensuring sufficient soft light for photosynthesis.
For leafy vegetables like cabbage, lettuce and spinach, 50%–60% shade percentage is recommended. These tender crops are afraid of sunburn and high temperature burnout. Moderate shading can keep the soil moist and extend the growth cycle. For special crops, seedling cultivation and nursery protection, 70%–90% high shading net is widely used to create a stable low-temperature and humidity growing environment.
All our agricultural shade nets are made of 100% virgin HDPE material with imported UV stabilizer. Compared with recycled material nets, our products have stronger tensile resistance, anti-aging performance and longer outdoor service life (3–5 years). We support customized width, color, gram weight and shading rate for global farm customers.
As a professional agricultural net manufacturer in Shandong, China, we adopt standard export pallet packaging for all bulk orders, suitable for sea transportation to Europe, Southeast Asia and other regions.
