What methods do you use to provide shade for plants?
Correct Answer
Shade is provided using green shade-nets with appropriate shading percentage (50% or 75%) based on plant needs. These are fixed using bamboo or wooden poles. If shade-nets are unavailable, tree branches or old cloth (sarees) can be used. For terrace nurseries, metal tin boxes or plastic drums filled with sand can hold poles for shade-net support.
