Abstract
To inquiry the effects of silicon on the growth and fruit quality of cucumber in greenhouse,plant morphology,photosynthetic and fruit quality parameters were measured.The result showed that the growth rate,chlorophyll content and the photosynthesis rate increased firstly,then decreased with the growing input of silicon,and reached the highest at the level of 1.0mmol/L,and flowering stage and fruiting period began a week earlier.The content of amino acid increased by 14.3%,NO-3-N content decreased by 23.1%,the content of soluble sugar and vitamin c also increased.The proper amount of silicon can be applied to promote plant growth and improve the quality of greenhouse cucumber production and we suggest the silicon concentration of 1.0mmol/L as the nutrient solution.
