How Does a Black and White Tarp Help Control Light and Temperature?

  • Mark Johansan

    One of the most important benefits of a black and white tarp is its ability to help manage light and temperature in controlled environments. When the white side faces upward, it reflects a significant portion of sunlight, helping to keep surfaces cooler during hot weather. This is especially useful in greenhouses, nurseries, and outdoor growing areas where excessive heat can stress plants and reduce productivity. When flipped so the black side faces upward, the tarp absorbs heat and blocks light penetration, making it effective for weed control and soil warming during cooler periods. This flexibility allows growers to respond to seasonal changes without investing in multiple products.
