Abstract In this experiment,wheat,soybean and oat were used to intercropping cucumber to explore impacts of different intercropping patterns on cucumber growth and soil environment.The results showed that:three crops interplanting significantly reduced the soil bulk density,significantly increased the total soil porosity.During the entire growing period,three treatments significantly reduced the accumulation of salt in soil,and in the latter part of fertility,the value of EC decreased 38.96 % than in the control;the content of organic matter in the treatments(wheat intercropping cucumber)and the treatments(oat intercropping cucumber)were significantly higher than the control;the number of fusarium of the treatments(wheat intercropping cucumber)was dropped by an average of 69.44 %.The three treatments obviously promote the cucumber growth and increase its yield.Cucumber intercropping wheat has the best effect and achieves the objective of relaxing the soil obstacle brought by successive cropping in greenhouse.
