Title	Shade materials for modifying greenhouse climate
Creator	Davis, Edwin A.
Contributor	Cole, Frank Donald ; <br> Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station (Fort Collins, Colo.)
Description	Effects of several shading materials and methods of installation on greenhouse temperature, and on light intensity, distribution, and quality were evaluated. A synthetic fiber shade cloth installed outside produced lowest greenhouse temperatures. Shade cloth or fiberglass panels installed inside were effective in raising greenhouse temperatures. Light intensity under fiberglass decreased from panel to bench but varied little under shade cloth; light quality in the visible range under both materials was comparable. Synthetic shade cloths seem more advantageous than other shading techniques for controlling temperature and regulating light intensity in research greenhouses.
