The invention discloses a method for rapidly detecting residual forchlorfenuron in cucumbers. The method comprises the first step of instrument and reagent selection, the second step of plant sample extraction, the third step of soil sample selection, the fourth step of purification and the fifth step of gas chromatography detection, wherein instruments adopt an electron capture detector and a full-automatic accelerated solvent extraction instrument, and reagents adopt acetone, dichloromethane, anhydrous sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, ethyl acetate, n-hexane and diatomaceous earth. According to the method for rapidly detecting the residual forchlorfenuron in the cucumbers, a gas chromatography detection method of a plant growth regulator forchlorfenuron in the cucumbers and soil is established, and the method has the advantages of being simple and convenient in pretreatment step, wide in use of instruments, high in recovery rate and low in minimum detection limit.
