Covering and shading green houses and horticultures is one of the most important applications of white shade nets. Using white shade nets lead to decrease in temperature of the covered area, especially in hot seasons when solar radiation intensity is too high. Besides, one of the most important advantages of shade nets is adjusting the light that plants receive. Shade nets are manufactured in different colors, which are called photo selective nets, too. Photoselective shade nets provide certain spectrum of lights, that different plant species need for their development. Different colors are used in photoselective shade nets, which alter the quality of light that the plant receives, and as a consequence additional physiological responses may occur. Therefore, properly utilizing photoselective shade nets leads to the enhancement of plant development.

Dark green is the most common color of the shade nets, which is widely used in horticultures. However, using this color for all the plant species is not correct.

For instance, some reports demonstrate that most of ornamental plants like Gerbera, Carnation, and Alstroemeria and also peaches and strawberries need white shade nets to enhance their growth.
