Abstract
Onion is an important vegetable in Romanian cuisine, implicitly in vegetable growing. The pedoclimatic conditions in our
country are favourable for this culture. Onion shading technologies are rare, even in small areas. A Rubiniu red onion
culture was established, in the agricultural year 2019. Three types of textile materials were used (2 of them were
provided by INCDTP Bucharest), to overshadow the experimental variants and an unshaded witness. The present study
aimed to observe the growth of the studied plants, shaded with different types of textile material, in the context of climate
change. The analysed results indicate a positive influence of shading on plant growth and development compared to the
control variant.
