Abstract
We studied Zucchini(Cucurubita pepo L. Melopepo Group) planted cultivating bed for avoiding soil disease. In three terms(2014 spring to summer, 2014 summer to fall, 2015 spring to summer), we planted zucchini in cultivating beds which were 0.07 meters in depth, 0.6 to 0.1 meters in width, and 0.9 intrarow spacing, and researched the effect of volume of cultivating bed on growth, fruits hardness, total saccharides content, and ascorbic acid content for zucchini. According to the results, the growth of zucchini was kept on over 0.3 meters width, the yield of it was tendency to decreasing under 0.2 meter width. The fruits hardness, total saccharides content, ascorbic acid were not affected by difference of volume of cultivating bed. In conclusion, it is suitable for the planting cultivating bed that has over 0.3 meter width.
