Abstract: In order to determine the optimum furrow depth of the double border deep furrow ridge for cucumber cultivation in green house by furrow irrigation under the membrane,different irrigation furrow depth,15,11,8 cm corresponding to the irrigation of 300,225,and 150 m3/ha were tested,and with the conventional furrow ridge and the irrigation of 450 m3/ha as control.The experiment investigated the yield and quality of cucumber plants Dongli 519(rootstocks:pumpkin Gaoyouliang),soil quality,and water use efficiency under the three irrigation furrow depth.The results showed that compared to the conventional irrigation,all the 3 deep furrow ridge irrigation could meet the demand of cucumber normal growth,and had no significant effect on the fruit production and quality,no obstacles on the root nutrient absorption and utilization,no influence of soil environment.In additionly,all the three irrigations significantly increased the water use efficiency.In autumn and winter crop,water-saving rates were 27.03%,40.54%,54.05% respectively;and in winter and spring crop,water-saving rates were 30.20%,45.30%,60.40% respectively.Considering yield and irrigation water use efficiency,the optimum and recommended furrow depth in deep furrow ridge mode for cucumber cultivation was 8 cm,corresponding to the irrigation of 150 m3/ha, which meet the water needs of grafting cucumber production.

Key words: Cucumber, Irrigation furrow depth, Yield, Water use efficiency
