As part of its research and developmental activities aimed at supporting modern agricultural technologies, an agricultural engineering team from the Center for Arid Farming and Conservation Agriculture Research carried out greenhouse covering operations using agricultural shade netting on Wednesday, 13 May 2026. The activity was undertaken with the objective of providing a suitable environment for crop growth and mitigating the adverse effects of high temperatures.

   The work included the installation of shade nets on the metal structures of the greenhouses in accordance with approved technical standards and engineering practices. This contributes to reducing the intensity of solar radiation and improving temperature and humidity conditions within the protected structures, thereby positively enhancing crop quality and increasing water-use efficiency.

   The Center continues its research and field-based efforts in implementing agricultural projects aimed at supporting the agricultural sector, promoting sustainable development, and strengthening food security.

   This activity aims to improve the environmental conditions inside greenhouses by minimizing the impact of elevated temperatures and direct solar radiation, thereby creating favorable conditions for crop growth and enhancing production efficiency.

The activity aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:

SDG 2: Zero Hunger

SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

SDG 13: Climate Action
