The importance of shading of plants in summer
Shading of plants in summer plays an
important role in the care and preservation of plant crops. Here are a few
reasons why shading is important:
- Protection against overheating. In the
summer months, the sun's rays can be very intense, which can lead to
overheating of the plants. Shading helps lower ambient temperatures and protect
plants from overheating, which can cause damage to leaves and stems.
- Reduction of evaporation. Sunlight
causes moisture to evaporate from plant leaves, which can cause stress and
dehydration. Shading helps reduce evaporation by conserving soil moisture and
making it easier for plants to access water.
- Protection against ultraviolet (UV)
radiation. UV rays can be harmful to plants, especially high intensity UV rays
can cause damage to plant cells and DNA. Shading provides additional protection
from UV rays, helping to reduce their harmful effects on plants.
- Reduction of competition with weeds.
Shading can help reduce the growth of weeds that compete with plants for access
to light, moisture and nutrients. This contributes to the improvement of
conditions for the growth and development of plant crops.
- Reduced risk of pest damage: Some pests,
particularly those active in direct sunlight, may be less active in shaded
conditions.
In general, shading of plants in the
summer promotes their healthy growth and yield, providing optimal conditions
for their functioning and protection.
Different methods are used for shading of
plants, such as growing plants in the shade of trees or creating artificial
shading to provide comfortable conditions for plant growth and functioning.
