dc.description.abstractPhotoselective nets in agriculture are typically designed to modify the light spectrum, intensity, and microclimate around crops, influencing plant growth, productivity, and quality. However, knowledge regarding their impact on the microbiota of plants and fruits remains limited. This study assessed the impact of pearl, grey, and yellow photoselective nets on the microbial communities present on kiwifruit surfaces using amplicon high- throughput sequencing of ITS and 16S metagenomic DNA. Kiwifruit pathogens associated with postharvest rot, such as Alternaria, Didymella, and Cladosporium, were significantly more prevalent on kiwis grown without nets. Additionally, different net types influenced microbial diversity, richness, and network structure. Pearl nets promoted bacterial richness and fungal diversity, while yellow nets enhanced overall diversity and resilience in both microbial communities. Grey nets resulted in evenness in fungal communities but led to less robust bacterial networks. Kiwifruit yield increased under photoselective nets compared to outside. At harvest, fruit dry matter, f irmness, pH, total soluble solids, and titratable acidity were similar across treatments. However, fruits under yellow and grey nets showed significantly lower firmness compared to other treatments. Understanding these effects may contribute to optimizing fruit production and shelf-life management.eng
