Abstract: A greenhouse experiment was carried out to test if extender of vinegar and honey could control aphids or accelerate growth of organic cucumbers. Results showed that the growth rate of cucumbers changed with the concentration of extender. The extender with 100 times and 300 times dilution could accelerate the growth of cucumbers, while the extender with 50 times dilution could restrain the growth. At the same time, pest control effect changed with the concentration of extender, the extender with 300 times dilution could control the aphids of organic cucumber effectively.
