Abstract:

Based on the climate data of Red Cartridge Kiwifruit planted zone from 2005 to 2014 and 85 meteorological stations from 1981 to 2010, which included average temperature in different periods, precipitation, sunshine hours, extreme maximum and minimum temperature, as well as GIS data from 1462 towns in Guizhou province, the climate conditions were analyzed and the division indices of climate suitability were obtained by using experience orthogonal function method and fuzzy clustering method, then the climate suitability division of the Red Cartridge Kiwifruit was built using GIS technology. The results showed that the annual mean temperature, extreme minimum temperature over the years (80% guarantee rate), the average temperature in January and July, temperature difference in August, annual precipitation, and annual sunshine hours could be used as climate suitability division indices for Red Cartridge Kiwifruit planting. Each index had 4 grades, corresponding to the most suitable, suitable, appropriate and inappropriate. The most suitable area was in the western region of Guizhou province, suitable region was in central west region, less suitable region was in central region, and not suitable region was mainly in Zunyi City, Tongren City, parts of southeast and western edges of Guizhou province. Investigation showed that actual cultivation of Red Cartridge Kiwifruit in Guizhou mountainous areas was in accordance with climatic suitability division.
