Why cucumbers and tomatoes should not be intercropped

Because cucumbers and tomatoes have relatively large gaps in plant characters, height, and requirements for environmental conditions, they should not be planted together. Mainly in the following areas:

1, the requirements of moisture. Cucumbers require higher soil moisture and generally keep the soil moist. The tomato needs more water, but if the soil is in a high-moisture state for a long time, it will make tomato long-lasting pests and diseases worse.

2, the requirements of the sun. Cucumber is shade-tolerant and grows taller while tomato requires sufficient sunlight and grows shorter. Therefore, tall cucumbers in the space weakened the photosynthesis of tomato seriously affecting the tomato yield, quality and maturity.

3, the fertilizer requirements. Cucumbers require topdressing, which is mainly to be applied sparingly, while tomato is mainly based on basal fertilizers, which is not suitable for top dressing. Otherwise, tomato plants will become leggy.

4, tomato and cucumber have some common diseases. For example, certain viral diseases can infect each other.
