“…The productivity of net house cucumber plants is affected by many factors, such as the environmental conditions (e.g., soil salinity, acidity, temperature, and the bioavailability of nutrients) and the rootstock. Some recent studies have investigated the effects of soil fertility [50], soil microbial communities [51], nutrient balance, and changes in soil [3] on greenhouse cucumber production. Higher temperatures as a result of climate change are projected to increase soil salinization, and therefore, the occurrence of soilborne diseases in cucumber greenhouses, as expected in environments with increased atmospheric temperature [36].…”

“…Although cucumber is a thermophilic vegetable crop, it is sensitive to heat stress [2]. The production of cucumber in greenhouses faces some abiotic stresses, particularly in arid regions, due to excessive application of mineral fertilizers, use of brackish water, soil salinization, and high temperatures in the summer [3,4]. These stresses are expected to be intensified because of climate Horticulturae 2021, 7, 61 2 of 14 change; under these conditions, the resulting imbalances in plant hormones, nutrition, and physiological disorders may also contribute to an increase in biotic stresses [5].…”

Improving the productivity of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants subjected to combined salinity and heat stresses is a significant challenge, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Gianco F1 cucumbers were grafted onto five cucurbit rootstocks and, together with an ungrafted control, were grown in Egypt in a net house with saline soil during the summer season over two years. The vegetative growth, yield, quality, biochemical, and mineral composition traits were measured. Although many differences were observed among treatments, in general, the grafted plants had a performance better than or similar to that of the ungrafted plants, based on the different parameters measured. In particular, the cucumber plants grafted onto the Cucurbita maxima × C. moschata interspecific hybrid rootstocks VSS-61 F1 and Ferro had the highest early and total marketable yields. These two rootstocks consistently conferred higher vigor to the scion, which had lower flower abortion rates and higher chlorophyll contents. The fruit quality and N, P, and K composition in the leaves suffered few relevant changes as compared with the control. However, the leaves of the VSS-61 F1 had higher catalase activity, as well as proline and Se contents, while those of Ferro had higher Si content. This study reveals that the grafting of cucumber plants onto suitable rootstocks may mitigate the adverse effects caused by the combination of saline soil and heat stresses. This represents a significant improvement for cucumber cultivation in saline soil under high-temperature stress conditions in arid regions.

“…The cucumber production of Turkey is 1.926.883 tons (FAO, 2020). In greenhouse and open field cucumber cultivation, especially in arid regions, some abiotic stress factors are encountered due to excessive mineral fertilizer application, high pH water use, soil salinity and high temperatures in summer (Fan et al, 2020;Phogat et al, 2020). The negative impact of such stress factors is expected to increase day…”

In grafted seedling production, in addition to the compatibility and performance of the rootstock, the correct selection of the grafting method and the treatments to the rootstocks nd scion are effective on the success of the graft. A three-stage trial was conducted to determine the appropriate grafting method, the effect of root cutting, and some treatments on grafting success in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). In Experiment I, it was aimed to determine the most appropriate grafting technique for cucumber by using single cotyledon, hole insertion, and tube grafting techniques. The effect of rooted and rootless grafting on grafting success and seedling growth in Experiment II was determined by using the most appropriate grafting technique determined in Experiment I. In experiment III, the effect of sucrose, IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid) and antitranspirant applications on rootstocks on the success of grafting was determined. The graft success rate of the grafted plants was evaluated 14 days after grafting. While the most appropriate grafting technique was the single cotyledon grafting method with a success rate of 76%, the grafting success rate was 67.8% and 55.6% in hole insertion and tube grafting methods, respectively. The effect of grafting with rooted or rootless rootstock on grafting success was found to be insignificant. The highest stem fresh and dry weight were recorded in rooted grafting with 28.00 and 2.30 g/plant, respectively. The highest root fresh and dry weights were found in rooted grafting with 19.30 and 1.93 g/plant, respectively. In Experiment III, the highest grafting success was obtained from sucrose+antitranspirant (98.82%) and sucrose+antitranspirant+IBA (97.65%) applications, respectively. The lowest grafting success was determined in antitranspirant (74.86%) and control (78.24%) applications. According to the results te highest grafting success was achieved by using rooted rootstocks and single cotyledon grafting method. In addition, the combined application of sucrose and antitranspirant and the triple combination of sucrose, antitranspirant, and IBA to rootstocks before grafting is recommended because they increase the success of grafting in cucumber.

“…The production of cucumber under greenhouse in low cost structure has many problems including energy efficient (Iddio et al, 2020), greenhouse soil degradation due to the intensive applications of fungicides (Zhang et al, 2020), soil salinization (Phogat et al, 2020), soil nutrient imbalance (Fan et al, 2020), and deterioration of soil microbial communities (Liu et al, 2020c andZhao et al, 2020). The long-term production of greenhouse cucumber may cause a lot of problems in the structure of soil microbial community (Liu et al, 2020c).…”

G REENHOUSE cucumber production is considered an important tool beside open field production. The production of greenhouse cucumber in developing countries particularlyinarid environments mightachieve as low cost structures and almost without air conditions. These conditions have increased the constrains of cucumber production to be include more stresses beside salinity, drought and heat stress. These stresses mainly include biotic stress and abiotic stresses, which cause a high loss in the cucumber productivity. Thus, this review is an attempt to highlight the problems of greenhouse cucumber production under abiotic stress (mainly drought and salinity) and different strategies, which should be adapted against these stresses. Several studies have handled the individual stresses, which impact on greenhouse cucumber production but fewer studies have investigated the multiple or combined stresses.Salinity and drought are most common abiotic stresses under changing climate, which mainly cause a trouble in cucumber antioxidant enzyme activity and generate an oxidative stress leading to a loss in cucumber productivity. New strategies should be adapted to ameliorate or mitigate the expected damage resulting from salinity and drought-stressed cucumber.
