Dear colleagues,
We cultivate the zucchini & marrows at the greenhouse. The full area for this species is too much for us. We are interested to cultivate zucchini with any other vegetable. All our efforts for acclimatization of any vegetables (cucumbers, peppers, tomato, eggplant) were unsuccessful.
Could you be so kind to inform us about vegetable, compatible with zucchini?
Sincerely,
Mehdi.
Hello, I don`t get why it is not successful. one can grow zucchini with other same family crop. I have grown many times but on different beds in same green house. Am I getting it wrong somewhere?
Mehdi Ali,
peppers, tomato, eggplant are not compartible with cucurbits in humidity/temperature balance , cucumber is more susceptible to the same pathogens that infect zucchini. you can test other cucurbits.

Zucchini and cucumber can grow in the same greenhouse and on the same recirculating nutrient solution. Many varieties of zucchini need pollination either by hand or by bumble bees. Use only all female cucumber varieties as pollinated cucumbers are low quality because of the seed fill.
What are your field climatic conditions?
You should precise the problem than precise the solutions.
Try the rotation with fabaceae (chickpea, common bean etc. )
