“…The productivity of net house cucumber plants is affected by many factors, such as the environmental conditions (e.g., soil salinity, acidity, temperature, and the bioavailability of nutrients) and the rootstock. Some recent studies have investigated the effects of soil fertility [50], soil microbial communities [51], nutrient balance, and changes in soil [3] on greenhouse cucumber production. Higher temperatures as a result of climate change are projected to increase soil salinization, and therefore, the occurrence of soilborne diseases in cucumber greenhouses, as expected in environments with increased atmospheric temperature [36].…”

Improving the productivity of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants subjected to combined salinity and heat stresses is a significant challenge, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Gianco F1 cucumbers were grafted onto five cucurbit rootstocks and, together with an ungrafted control, were grown in Egypt in a net house with saline soil during the summer season over two years. The vegetative growth, yield, quality, biochemical, and mineral composition traits were measured. Although many differences were observed among treatments, in general, the grafted plants had a performance better than or similar to that of the ungrafted plants, based on the different parameters measured. In particular, the cucumber plants grafted onto the Cucurbita maxima × C. moschata interspecific hybrid rootstocks VSS-61 F1 and Ferro had the highest early and total marketable yields. These two rootstocks consistently conferred higher vigor to the scion, which had lower flower abortion rates and higher chlorophyll contents. The fruit quality and N, P, and K composition in the leaves suffered few relevant changes as compared with the control. However, the leaves of the VSS-61 F1 had higher catalase activity, as well as proline and Se contents, while those of Ferro had higher Si content. This study reveals that the grafting of cucumber plants onto suitable rootstocks may mitigate the adverse effects caused by the combination of saline soil and heat stresses. This represents a significant improvement for cucumber cultivation in saline soil under high-temperature stress conditions in arid regions.

“…The production of cucumber under greenhouse in low cost structure has many problems including energy efficient (Iddio et al, 2020), greenhouse soil degradation due to the intensive applications of fungicides (Zhang et al, 2020), soil salinization (Phogat et al, 2020), soil nutrient imbalance (Fan et al, 2020), and deterioration of soil microbial communities (Liu et al, 2020c andZhao et al, 2020). The long-term production of greenhouse cucumber may cause a lot of problems in the structure of soil microbial community (Liu et al, 2020c).…”

“…The long-term production of greenhouse cucumber may cause a lot of problems in the structure of soil microbial community (Liu et al, 2020c). All natural resources should be sustainably managed including the energy (Taki &Yildizhan 2018 andAsgharipour et al, 2020), water conservation (Liang et al 2018;Sun et al 2019) and soil and protecting from pollution and degradation (Zhao et al, 2020).…”

“…Therefore, the protected production of cucumber should be managed for more environmental health with a balance between the productivity and the profitability (Ali et al, 2019 a, b;Abdalla et al, 2020). This management should not only depend on the traditional agro-ecological practices but also mightconsider the plant biodiversity, soil quality and crop productivityor sustainable practices of the agriculture & 2020and Zhao et al, 2020. The problems of cucumber production under greenhouses in developing countries during summer season (May to August) in arid zones is representing a crucial challenge how to avoid heat stress in particular the un air-conditional greenhouses.…”

G REENHOUSE cucumber production is considered an important tool beside open field production. The production of greenhouse cucumber in developing countries particularlyinarid environments mightachieve as low cost structures and almost without air conditions. These conditions have increased the constrains of cucumber production to be include more stresses beside salinity, drought and heat stress. These stresses mainly include biotic stress and abiotic stresses, which cause a high loss in the cucumber productivity. Thus, this review is an attempt to highlight the problems of greenhouse cucumber production under abiotic stress (mainly drought and salinity) and different strategies, which should be adapted against these stresses. Several studies have handled the individual stresses, which impact on greenhouse cucumber production but fewer studies have investigated the multiple or combined stresses.Salinity and drought are most common abiotic stresses under changing climate, which mainly cause a trouble in cucumber antioxidant enzyme activity and generate an oxidative stress leading to a loss in cucumber productivity. New strategies should be adapted to ameliorate or mitigate the expected damage resulting from salinity and drought-stressed cucumber.

“…These microorganisms have 2 fundamental role in soil-based ecosystem functions and key processes including, organic matter turnover, mineral nutrition cycling, soil toxin removal or accumulation and manifest their effects by affecting soil health and plant nutrition (Nannipieri et al, 2003;Wardle et al, 2004;Ball, 2005). Soil microbial communities are affected by a wide range of factors, such as continuous monocropping (Zhao et al, 2020), soil management practices (Fournier et al, 2020;Rincon-Florez et al, 2020) and soil type (Xu et al, 2020). Consecutive monocropping, which means cultivation of the same crop in the same soil for several years, greatly affect microbial communities.…”

Continuous cropping systems are the leading cause of decreased soil biological environments in terms of unstable microbial population and diversity index. Nonetheless, their responses to consecutive peanut monocropping cycles have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, the structure and abundance of microbial communities were characterized using pyrosequencing-based approach in peanut monocropping cycles for three consecutive years. The results showed that continuous peanut cultivation led to a substantial decrease in soil microbial abundance and diversity from initial cropping cycle (T1) to later cropping cycle (T3). Peanut rhizosphere soil had Actinobacteria, Protobacteria, and Gemmatimonadetes as the major bacterial phyla. Ascomycota, Basidiomycota were the major fungal phylum, while Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota were the most dominant phyla of archaea. Several bacterial, fungal and archaeal taxa were significantly changed in abundance under continuous peanut cultivation. Bacterial orders, Actinomycetales, Rhodospirillales and Sphingomonadales showed decreasing trends from T1>T2>T3. While, pathogenic fungi Phoma was increased and beneficial fungal taxa Glomeraceae decreased under continuous monocropping. Moreover, Archaeal order Nitrososphaerales observed less abundant in first two cycles (T1&T2), however, it increased in third cycle (T3), whereas, Thermoplasmata exhibit decreased trends throughout consecutive monocropping. Taken together, we have shown the taxonomic profiles of peanut rhizosphere communities that were affected by continuous peanut monocropping. The results obtained from this study pave ways towards a better understanding of the peanut rhizosphere soil microbial communities in response to continuous cropping cycles, which could be used as bioindicator to monitor soil quality, plant health and land management practices.
