An assessment of a red photoselective netting system on apple production was conducted in a Mediterranean semi-arid climate. For two seasons, blocks of trees from an early bearing (cv Jonagold) and late bearing (cv Fuji) cultivars were covered to full canopy with red photoselective nets with 20% shading factor and an exclusion mesh size of 5.2 × 2....

... These results are in line with other reports of 13 C discrimination that accompanied increased leaf conductance and growth and improved water relations (e.g. Nemera et al., 2020) under photo-selective and non-photo-selective nets in citrus, measured by various means, including leaf gas exchange and porometry (Aoun and Manja, 2020;Barry et al., 2020;Incesu et al., 2016;Jifon and Syvertsen, 2003;Mauta et al., 2020;Mira-García et al., 2020Mupambi et al., 2018). Netting increases light scattering, allowing deeper penetration into the canopy; as a result, shaded leaves and leaves which are not perpendicular to the radiation photosynthesize better, which, overall, increases tree photosynthesis (Hemming et al., 2008;Lakso and Musselman, 1976;Shahak et al., 2008). ...
