Discussion

Randomized trial examines chlorophyll index and yield characteristics in gerbera plants, highlighting fertigation and shading effects.

The study found that the highest chlorophyll indices occurred under red and black shading nets.
Under blue nets, optimal dry masses were achieved at nutrient concentrations of 93-98%, while red nets were best at 50%.
A randomized complete block design was employed, incorporating a 4 × 3 factorial setup with varying nutrient concentrations and shading colors.
This research indicates that specific shade colors and nutrient levels can significantly influence gerbera growth and yield.

Nascimento et al. (2025) studied this question.
