Abstract: A study was conducted to assess the feasibility of permanent shade net structure in comparison to open field condition for round the year cultivation. Experiment was conducted during 2016-2017 for winter, summer and rainy season. The microclimate parameters recorded were maximum and minimum temperature, light intensity and dry bulb and wet bulb temperature. The results showed that shade net lowered the temperature, light intensity and increased the relative humidity during winter, summer and rainy season in comparison to open field condition. The crops taken during round the year were i.e. winter season (pea, cabbage, cauliflower, and potato), summer season (tomato) and rainy season (spinach and coriander). During winter season under shade net structure only cabbage yield was better than open field and tomato yield during summer season under shade net structure was substantial higher than open field.
