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 studying plant-pathogen interaction. Likewise, pests and diseases are constant threat to production, which requires innovative control methods. Providing suitable sustainable method detailed probe into the relationship between plants biotic disturbance under settings. Therefore this review explores relationships pathogens, highlighting impact of extreme microclimates on plant pathology assays. Given weather conditions Arabian peninsula, efficiency greenhouses, especially during summer, is compromised without adequate cooling systems. This discusses current strategies employed optimize hot arid regions, aiming enhance health by mitigating pathogen activity while minimizing energy, water consumption. The provides an overview how microclimatic parameters within influence dynamics, ensuring that conducive managing both abiotic diseases. Additionally, aims evaluate various techniques available most widely accepted regions. Moreover, performance indicators, principles, effectiveness each technique discussed. Promising advances manipulations combination these have proven maintain appropriate microclimate minimal resource use.

Conventional greenhouses, with their high transmittance for solar irradiation and conductive nature, result in significant heat transfer to the interior. While this feature is desirable cold regions, it poses a challenge hot arid areas, causing excessive an unsuitable rise internal greenhouse temperature crop growth. passive cooling methods prove insufficient, addition, solely active both energy-intensive environmentally harmful, making economically unfeasible under certain conditions. In research, novel design optimized regions proposed, incorporating several cost-effective innovative techniques: (1) fully sunken greenhouse, (2) shaded roof openings diffuser lenses, (3) thermally insulated roof, (4) closed-loop horizontal earth-to-air exchanger. Computational modeling involved developing ray-tracing model proposed greenhouse. The results demonstrate that achieves sufficient well-distributed plant Also, shows remarkable (85.6%) reduction load during season (April October) compared conventional Furthermore, economic assessment indicate 67.8% lifetime cost of design.

Global food shortage demands significant progress in crop production. Greenhouses offer a solution for higher production by providing controllable environment. Excess levels of humidity, however, encourage pests and diseases, drastically reducing yields. Traditional humidity control methods greenhouses are expensive energy-intensive. In addition to this, nonbiodegradable plastic covers cause massive white pollution. To tackle these concerns, we present smart glazing sensors greenhouse regulation through both passive active paths. We created biodegradable humidity-sensitive films blending poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with cellulose acetate (CA). PEG/CA can automatically open air circulation at high successfully demonstrating repeatable as low 60% relative humidity. PEG/CA-based actively accelerate reduction repeated cycles an even efficiency. Overall, our research introduces low-cost, all-in-one, sustainable, environmentally conscious addressing the challenges. Approximately, this potentially achieve annual energy savings up 56.6 GWh U.S. if fully applied.
