How do you ensure that plants receive the right amount and duration of sunlight?

Correct Answer

Nurseries ensure proper sunlight by selecting locations that receive at least 2-3 hours of sunlight. Shade-nets with appropriate shading percentages (50% or 75%) are installed to reduce excessive sunlight and protect young plants from heat stress. The placement of plants is adjusted based on their sunlight requirements.
