The Shade net is use for controlling the effective parameter of crop growth. Film mulching is an important agricultural practice used to improve crop productivity. Field experiments were conducted in shade net and in open field. They are using Chrysanthemum crop to determine the effect of film mulching on soil physical properties and Chrysanthemum yield in 2018 and 2019 cropping seasons. The yield of Chrysanthemum was increased in shade net than the open field. The experiment was randomized completed using Black mulch (BP), Silver mulch (SP), and Transparent mulch (TP) in shade net and in open field. Film mulching significantly increased the soil temperature and water retention relative to the un-mulched treatments. Yield increases of 60-80% were observed in shade net mulch treatment relative to the control. Shade net can be used to control environment. The size of the bed was taken as 3.04 m x 0.60 m x 0.15 m. Chrysanthemum was shade loving plant and grow about 18-30℃ and optimum light intensity was required to growth was 180000-300000 lux and relative humidity required 70-90%.
