Salt stress is one of the main abiotic factors affecting the growth and yield of cucurbit crops.This paper re-viewed the effects of salt stress on the growth and physiology of cucurbit crops,and summarized the mitigation effects and mechanisms of exogenous substances,salt-tolerant variety breeding,biological induction,grafting and other salt-tolerant enhancement measures on the salt stress of cucurbit crops.At the same time,the development direction of salt-tolerant en-hancement measures was prospected,in order to provide a basis for the increase of yield and quality improvement of cucur-bit crops in saline soil environment.
