Abstract

As a widely consumed vegetable, whether cucumbers can achieve stable and high yields has always been a key concern in production. To address this issue, this paper reviews the recent research progress on cucumber high-yield cultivation from multiple perspectives, covering both basic understandings of growth, development, and yield formation, as well as practical measures such as environmental conditions, variety selection, seed treatment, water and fertilizer management, and facility and cover cultivation. Additionally, it combines the application of green pest and disease control and intelligent technologies, and illustrates through typical production models in specific regions. Based on comprehensive analysis, the current technical effects are evaluated, shortcomings are pointed out, and future development trends are predicted. Overall, the coordinated application of various technologies helps to simultaneously enhance cucumber yields and quality.
