evs modern agriculture agricultural practices in india different types of farming and agriculture various agricultural practices

  1. White

  2. Black

  3. Green

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • Green shade nets allow many of the lights to pass through with minimal effect on photosynthesis, however the same is not true for all the colours. 
  • When the light passes through the shade nets, a fraction of light spectra gets reflected and that varies from the colour of light spectra.
  • In blue shade nets, the photosynthetic activity gets reduced and in black/grey shade nets, shade avoidance mechanism is observed as the plant's photosynthetic activity does not suffice it. 
  • Therefore, green shade nets are mostly preferred over other coloured nets.
So the correct option is 'Green'.
