Noah Willsea conducted a two-year trial using Extenday retractable drape nets, demonstrating that by retracting the nets 10-14 days prior to harvest, growers can enhance fruit color without increasing the risk of sunburn.

“Retractable netting can be used to minimize the loss of fruit to sunburn while allowing a full light environment that promotes red color near harvest.
There is no inherent increase in sunburn risk from netting retraction, and the proportion of fruit with red color improved.” – Noah Willsea
