In the last years a wide dissemination of agricultural plastic nets was recorded because they have beneficial effects on the crops. Their use sets some technical problems connected with their spectro-radiometrical characteristics and the consequent microclimatic performance. In the present paper the spectro-radiometrical characteristics of n° 6 different agricultural nets, for shading and photo-selective application, produced by four different European industries, were analysed. The results obtained by the laboratory tests showed that, as expected, there is a relationship among the porosity of a net and its transmittance in the solar range, but that many other parameters compete to give diffusion effects of the incident radiation and, consequently, different shading and transmittance effects.

Abstract
In the last years a wide dissemination of agricultural plastic nets was recorded because they have beneficial effects on the crops. Their use sets some technical problems connected with their spectro-radiometrical characteristics and the consequent microclimatic performance. In the present paper the spectro-radiometrical characteristics of n° 6 different agricultural nets, for shading and photo-selective application, produced by four different European industries, were analysed. The results obtained by the laboratory tests showed that, as expected, there is a relationship among the porosity of a net and its transmittance in the solar range, but that many other parameters compete to give diffusion effects of the incident radiation and, consequently, different shading and transmittance effects.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
