英文摘要	Drought and heat stresses are severe threats to crop production and food security in arid and semi-arid regions of the globe, especially during the summer. This study investigates the effects of micro-spray on micro-climatic and physiological characteristics of cucumber and tomato plants for four growing seasons (two growing seasons each (cucumber: 2017 and 2018 and tomato: 2021 and 2022)). The experiment was conducted in a Venlo-type greenhouse where plants were irrigated with a combined micro-spray and drip irrigation (MSDI) system (1 min for tomato (seven times a day) and 2 mins (four times a day) for cucumber) and drip irrigation (DI). Both plants' growth and physiological parameters were recorded at the end of the experiment. Moreover, the experimental results showed that plant height and stem diameter increased under MSDI in all seasons. In addition, a micro-spray duration of 2 min decreased the average daily air temperature (T-a) and leaf temperature (T-1) by 0.8 degrees C and 4.9 degrees C, respectively, and increased the average daily relative humidity (RH) by 4.3%. However, a micro-spray duration of 1 min reduced the average daily T-a and T-1 by 0.76 degrees C and 4.6 degrees C, respectively, but the increase in RH (2.7%) was much lower than that in the single micro-spray duration of 2 min. In addition, the net leaf photosynthetic rate (P-n), the effective quantum yield of PSII (Phi(PSII)), and the stomatal conductance (G(s)) of both plants increased under MSDI compared with DI. A K-means analysis showed that MSDI could eliminate the adverse effects of sunlight stress on cucumbers and tomatoes. MSDI increased the yield of cucumber and tomato plants by 18.9% and 40.4%, respectively. The fruit weight of cucumber (2017) and tomato (2021) under MSDI did not increase significantly compared to DI, which indicates that MSDI mitigated heat stress, prevented flowers from being burned, and increased the number of fruits. The results also suggested that the total soluble solids in the cucumbers and tomatoes showed no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the two treatments in four seasons. In conclusion, the MSDI system can be an appropriate strategy for the irrigation needs and climate control of plants grown in greenhouses during the hot season.
