新疆棉花基地布局研究

新疆棉区是我国正在开发建设的优质棉花基地。本文阐述了新疆棉区在我国的战略地位,从自然生态和社会经济诸因素分析评价了新疆棉花生产的利弊条件,探讨了新疆棉花基地的发展方向和远景规模,划分了新疆棉花生产的适宜区和经济区,并在此基础上提出新疆棉花基地区域布局的设想。

ON THE ALLOCATION OF COTTON PRODUCTION BASE IN XINJIANG

Xinjiang is one of major cotton production regions in China. Its natural conditions as well as production traditions have been analysed. Considering the land and water resources, the cotton production in Xinjiang might reach at 0.533 million hectare and 0.5 million ton. A suggestion of spatial allocation strategic has been proposed. 1) The plantation of upland cotton (G hirsutum) with high quality and long-staple cotton (G barbadeuse) should be emphasised in south Xinjiang; A specialized cotton production bslt along the Yarkant River and the Tarim River would be established. 2) The production areas of cotton with high quality in north Xinjiang should be strengthened and improved; In the area of Mosauwan-Xiayedi-Chepaizi a specialized cotton production belt will arise. 3) The ultra long-staple cotton plantation region in east Xinjiang should be steadily enlarged.
