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 %.
