“…The spectral manipulations offered by this technology are utilized to promote desired physiological responses in ornamental plants, vegetables and fruit trees (Shahak et al 2008). Recently, it was shown that pepper crops grown under pearl and yellow ChromatiNets ® were protected against the aphid-borne non-persistent viruses, Potato virus Y (PVY) and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) (Shahak et al 2008;Antignus et al 2009). The immigration of B. tabaci to tomato plants grown in 'walk in' tunnels covered with pearl and yellow nets was reduced by 50% compared with their immigration into tunnels covered with conventional black shading net.…”

This review presents and discusses the merits of the methodologies available for implementing integrated pest management (IPM) of B. tabaci populations: namely, chemical control with selective insecticides, biological control, crop plant resistance and physical/mechanical methods. Insecticides, by their poisonous nature, are often harmful to natural enemies and therefore, disruptive to overall pest management. However, the more modern materials that are effective for B. tabaci control are relatively specific to the target pests, and therefore are less harmful to natural enemies and the environment; consequently, they are also more suitable for integrative combination with other methods. Natural enemies, by themselves, usually do not form a suitable solution of B. tabaci-caused problems. However, their occurrence and use greatly reduces the pest's populations. Since viral plant diseases transmitted by B. tabaci are not curable, the principal tactics for their management should be based on prevention of transmission by physical-mechanical methods and/or on utilization of host-plant resistance. The correct implementation of natural enemies will help to reduce whitefly numbers, which can then be more readily managed using cultural and, only if necessary, chemical countermeasures.

“…Colored shade is designed to modify light in either the ultraviolet, visible, or infra‐red spectral regions. The nets can also increase the relative proportion of diffuse light (scattering by 50% or more) and absorb various spectral bands (infra‐red radiation), thereby affecting light quality …”

BACKGROUND The need to increase marketable tomato yields and decrease losses due to sunburn and disease during the summer motivates farmers to adopt additional cultural practices such as shading and grafting. To investigate complex interactions among grafting, shading, and tomato cultivar, grafted and ungrafted tomatoes (cv. 'Optima' F1 and cv. 'Big Beef' F1) were grown in the soil under net‐house cover, using pearl and red nets, and in unshaded conditions (open fields). Tomato fruit at the red stage of maturity were used for the analysis of quality traits, and total and marketable yields were recorded during the whole production season. RESULTS Grafting and shading in tomato production might be considered as cultivation practices to increase the marketable tomato yield. A decrease in sugar content increased the uptake of some micro elements (Fe and Zn) and macro elements (Ca). In some cases, firmer and less elastic skin may be expected due to grafting. Shading with pearl net might result in fruit with lower firmness and higher total, and particularly malic, acid content. CONCLUSION Shading with colored nets and grafting provide alternative strategies for achieving higher fruit yields and avoiding or reducing a decrease in tomato quality caused by environmental stresses such as excessive radiation and temperature in the summer cropping season. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…These spectral manipulations are utilized to promote desired physiological responses in ornamental plants, vegetables, and fruit trees. Thus, growing vegetables, fruits, and ornamental crops under certain colored shading nets can increase their yields and improve their quality (Shahak, Gal, Offir, & Ben-Yakir, 2008;Shahak et al, 2009).…”

“…Yellow or pearl nets also provided efficient protection against the whiteflyborne, TYLCV in tomato. Disease incidence under these nets was two-to fourfolds lower compared to tomato plants grown under the black or red nets where disease incidence ranged between 15% and 50% (Antignus et al, 2009;Ben-Yakir, Antignus, Offir, & Shahak, 2012;Shahak et al, 2008).…”
