Growing tomatoes can be very profitable for farmers, however, tomatoes are a sensitive and vulnerable product and therefore require appropriate protection methods and ideal environmental conditions to achieve high quality and productivity. Over the years, the common cultivation of tomatoes in open fields has been done by many farmers. But this method has been strongly associated with lower efficiency and productivity, widespread invasion of pests and diseases, burning of fruits, damage to the product due to cold or high temperature.
Shade net effect on tomato cultivation
Installing shade net for growing tomatoes can be the best and safest crop protection strategy for your farm, which comes with many benefits:

First, tomatoes need an effective energy balance to maintain and establish a healthy and high-quality product. The amount of light entering the tomato plants must be properly adjusted and distributed throughout the cultivation environment. Shade net is able to reflect the incoming sunlight, which, as a result, reduces the temperature on the surface of the earth. Also, with the uniform distribution of solar light that is irradiated, the efficiency is improved, and as a result, it improves the quality of the product. Also, since the shade net has been stabilized with UV-resistant additives, harmful light rays are prevented from reaching the plants. Besides these things, shade cloth reduces the heat waves inside the covered environment, causes flowering, regulates the humidity level of the environment and protects the plants against cold, heavy rains, stormy winds, insects and other pests. According to various studies and reviews, it has been proven that creating a shade house with the help of a shading net increases the yield of tomatoes by about 3 to 4 times more than growing it in an open field without a shade net. Shade house provides a modified and suitable environment for tomatoes in a suitable bed of arable soils that have been improved with agricultural inputs. So, for maximum yield and yield from tomato farming, definitely consider growing tomatoes under protection of shade net.
