e0“It is probable that in winter, the ChromatiNet shading factor overwhelmed any light quality enhancement, and in longer, warmer, and brighter days, the ChromatiNets may show an advantage.”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect ChromatiNets provided no marketable yield advantage during winter production.
- Intervention effect Outside plots yielded more than high tunnel treatments by April.
- Intervention effect In high tunnels, red nets tended to yield more than pearl nets.
- Intervention effect No-net control and yellow nets yielded similarly in high tunnels.
- Intervention effect Yellow nets yielded slightly less than red nets in high tunnels.
- Intervention effect High tunnel and outside strawberry yields were similar in May.
- Intervention effect Nets did not change total yield across all harvest periods in the second year.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that winter shading may have overwhelmed light-quality benefits.
