-grown basil is sensitive to cold stress during early spring and fall in temperate regions. Temperatures below 10 °C lead to significant leaf necrosis and brown discoloration, resulting in significant crop loss due to leaf damage ( Ribeiro and Simon, 2007
is evidence high temperature might also contribute to the occurrence of SPD. Micronutrient toxicity symptoms have been reported to be more common after high temperature stress ( Smith et al., 2004 ). Taylor et al. (2007) showed that geraniums grown

During the hot summer, greenhouse cooling is essential for the production of high-quality crops, which require cooler ambient temperatures. Although many cooling options exist, they all depend on the availability of affordable resources, such as
