Through irrigating plant nutrient water, crop yields can be significantly improved. It is a low-cost, quick-result, easy- popularization agronomic measures. Based on the plot trials, taking the ordinary well water for irrigation as the control, through setting three additional irrigation treatments with different nutrient water irrigation quotas, the growth changes of plant and root of greenhouse cucumber are observed comparatively. The results show that plant nutrient water has a significant role in promoting cucumber plant height, stem diameter, root growth, and further significantly increases cucumber average yields and water productivity. Under the condition of the same irrigation quota, the cucumber yield in the nutrient water irrigation treatment is 1.24 times than that in the control. If the nutrient water is irrigated excessively, the more aboveground dry matter will be accumulated, while the production increase is not obvious, but also the water productivity is significantly reduced. On the contrary, if the less nutrient water is irrigated, the more underground plant roots will be accumulated, while the production will decline, but the water productivity can be significantly promoted. Thus, an appropriate irrigation amount of nutrition water is also a must.
