Abstract: Jingzhou white cucumbers were grafted on Shiyan long pumpkin( Cucubita moschata Duch.), Jingzhou green towel gourd( Luffa cylindrica Roem. ) and round bottle gourd( Lagenaria leucantha Rusby ),respectively.The growth vigour and early yield of the grafted cucumber seedlings and own root seedlings were studied.The result showed that there were significant differences among grafted cucumber on different rootstocks.The growth vigour of the grafted cucumber seedlings on long pumpkin rootstocks is superior to that of its own root seedlings;The grafted cucumber seedlings on round bottle gourd has not only early maturing,but also much significant early yield than that of its own root seedlings;But the white cucumber were grafted on the green towel gourd,they were extremely incompatible,its growth vigour and early yield were inferior to that of its own root seelings,meanwhile,all of its fruits were malformed.
