Abstract: | This study investigated the effect of root exudates of cucumber varieties, Jinyan 4 (susceptible variety), Jinchun 4 (resistant
variety) and Yinnan Black seed squash on fusarium wilt. The results showed that fusarium wilt occurrence of plants treated
with the root exudate of Jinyan 4 was earlier. The infection rate was significantly higher 15 days after inoculation, but
similar to the control 20 days after inoculation. In contrast, the infection rate of plants treated with the root exudate
of Jinchun 4 was significantly lower than that of the control. The plant height and fresh weight of Jinyan 4 treated with
its own root exudate were lower than those of the control, and the root vigor decreased but the conductance increased. There
was no significant effect of the root exudates from Jinchun 4 and Black seed squash on plant height and fresh mass of Jinyan
4. We found that the root exudate of susceptible cucumber variety stimulated the growth of Fusarium oxysporum pathogen, in contrast, that of resistance variety and Black seed squash suppressed the growth.
