Effects of Ca(NO3)2 stress on the root volume, root-shoot ratio and chlorophyll contents of cucumber seedlings were investigated. Two cucumber cultivars (Chun 4 and Jinyou 1) were used by sand culture. The results were as follows: root volume, root-shoot ratio, chlorophyll a (Chl a) contents, chlorophyll b (Chl b) contents and total chlorophyll (Chl t) contents of two cucumber cultivars all decreased when Ca(NO3)2 stress increased, which suggested that growth of cucumber seedlings were inhibited under Ca(NO3)2 stress.
