Abstract The effects of 17 different rootstocks on cucumber(Cucumis sativus L.)wax and yield were evaluated under winter greenhouse cultivation condition,using Cucurbita ficifolia Bouche. as the contrast.The results indicated that the 5 rootstocks,‘Jingxinzhen No.5 F1’,‘Guben’,‘Zhenguawang’,‘Huangguadadang’and‘Jintailang’had stronger dewaxing capability. The wax rate of these 5 rootstocks was below 10 %,and their yields were almost the same as C. ficifolia Bouche.,while the wax rate of using C. ficifolia Bouche. as rootstock was over 90 %.
