Fans and shade cloth aren't a lot of help with pollination problems
if the ambient temperature excedes 90 degress.
You can solve this problem with an inexpensive misting system (mists
the upper atmosphere of the greenhouse) that is automatically
initiated when temperatures excede 8x degrees. -Allan (Makes the
greenhouse more pleasant for the grower, also!)
