Continuous cropping is currently the main cultivation method for facility agriculture, and continuous cropping obstacles are a worldwide problem in soil remediation. The characteristics of continuous cropping obstacles (such as acidification, secondary salinization, nutrient imbalance, accumulation of heavy metals and other harmful substances, serious soil-borne diseases) were systematically expounded in facility cultivation in China. The roles and effects of various regulation techniques in mitigating continuous cropping obstacles were briefly described from agronomical, biological, chemical and physical aspects. Based on these studies, the existing scientific problems and future research direction in continuous cropping obstacles and regulation technology in facilities cultivation were summarized in order to provide scientific basis for studying the regulation mechanism and technology of the continuous cropping obstacles in China.
