Crop production using greenhouse technology has become increasingly essential for intensifying agricultural output, particularly in regions with challenging climatic conditions. More so, greenhouses do not only support continuous crop supply but also provide a controlled environment crucial for studying plant-pathogen interaction. Likewise, pests and diseases are a constant threat to crop production, which requires innovative control methods. Providing a suitable and sustainable control method requires a detailed probe into the relationship between plants and biotic disturbance under controlled settings. Therefore this review explores the relationships between plants and pathogens, highlighting the impact of extreme greenhouse microclimates on plant pathology assays. Given the extreme weather conditions in the Arabian peninsula, the efficiency of greenhouses, especially during summer, is compromised without adequate cooling systems. This review discusses the current strategies employed to optimize greenhouse conditions in hot arid regions, aiming to enhance plant health by mitigating pathogen activity while minimizing energy, and water consumption. The review also provides an overview of how microclimatic parameters within greenhouses influence plant-pathogen dynamics, ensuring conditions that are conducive to managing both biotic and abiotic diseases. Additionally, the review aims to evaluate various cooling techniques available and most widely accepted in hot arid regions. Moreover, the performance indicators, principles, and effectiveness of each technique are discussed. Promising advances in the manipulations and combination of these techniques have proven to maintain an appropriate greenhouse microclimate with minimal resource use.
利用温室技术进行作物生产对于提高农业产量变得越来越重要，特别是在气候条件具有挑战性的地区。更重要的是，温室不仅能支持作物的持续供应，还能提供一个对研究植物与病原体相互作用至关重要的可控环境。同样，病虫害对作物生产构成持续威胁，这就需要创新的控制方法。提供一种合适且可持续的控制方法需要在可控环境下深入探究植物与生物干扰之间的关系。因此，本综述探讨了植物与病原体之间的关系，强调了极端温室小气候对植物病理学检测的影响。鉴于阿拉伯半岛的极端天气条件，如果没有足够的冷却系统，温室的效率，尤其是在夏季，会受到影响。本综述讨论了目前在炎热干旱地区优化温室条件所采用的策略，旨在通过减轻病原体活动来增强植物健康，同时将能源和水的消耗降至最低。该综述还概述了温室内的微气候参数如何影响植物 - 病原体动态，确保有利于管理生物和非生物病害的条件。此外，该综述旨在评估炎热干旱地区可用且最广泛接受的各种冷却技术。此外，还讨论了每种技术的性能指标、原理和有效性。这些技术的操作和组合方面有前景的进展已被证明能以最少的资源使用维持适宜的温室小气候。
