Abstract
Transmissivities of solar radiation, air change rates and heat loss coefficients of five types of row covers were measured. Transmissivities of solar radiation were almost the same within 0-40° of incident angle, but dropped over 40°. Airchange rates were linearly increased with increase of porosities of row covers. Heat loss coefficients were increased with an exponential function of wind speed as well as porosities.
