| Abstract/Contents: | "This paper reports on a preliminary assessment of the effects of ethyltetrafluoroethylene foil on light transmission properties in a potential stadium environment. The assessment was conducted in a test rig located in Dunedin, New Zealand between the months of September 2007 and February 2008, representing spring and summer growing conditions. Although an autumn and winter period was not included in the trial, modelling techniques were used to estimate likely winter transmission percentages through the ethyltetrafluoroethylene. The test rig transmitted approximately 70-75% of unobstructed (global) photosynthetically active radiation under cloudless spring and summer conditions, typically exceeding the minimum amount of light required for optimum turfgrass growth during this period. Under heavy overcast conditions during spring, the percentage transmission in the test rig was reduced to near light compensation point levels. The presence of early morning dew had a marked effect on transmission, with values dropping to 28%. Under low sun angles, it was suggested that the transmission through ethyltetrafluoroethylene would reduce to a maximum of 60% of photosynthetically active radiation available and other factors such as dew, time of day and localised shading from stadium structures would further reduce transmission." |
