Why cucumbers and tomatoes should not be interspersed

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:

The requirements for moisture. Cucumbers require higher soil moisture and generally keep the soil moist. The tomato needs more water, but if the soil is in a state of high moisture for a long time, it will make tomato long-lasting diseases and pests worse; the requirements of the sun. Cucumber is shade-tolerant and grows taller while tomato requires sufficient sunlight and grows shorter. Therefore, the tall cucumbers in the space weakened the photosynthesis of tomato seriously affecting the yield, quality and maturity of the tomato; the fertilizer requirements. Cucumbers require top-dressing, that is, to be applied sparingly, while tomatoes are based on basal fertilizers. Not always top-dressing can make tomato plants leggy; tomato and cucumber have some common diseases. For example, certain viral diseases can infect each other.
