SpectraNet plays a major role in all these areas, by manipulating and altering the quantity and quality of photosynthetic active radiation energy absorbed by plants. Photosynthesis is driven by temperature, light intensity, light quality, light duration, carbon dioxide quantity, water quality and nutrients to produce energy (sugars) for plant growth and food production. Photomorphogenesis on the other hand is light-mediated changes in plant growth and development.
The plant’s size, shape and appearance are influenced by the relationship of blue, green, red and far-red wavelengths absorbed by the plant. SpectraNet’s light transmittance factors vary from 4% to 96% dependent upon the colour and pattern of the netting.
