Abstract: Construction of irrigation is important in development of agriculture and animal husbandry in the northern Xinjiang. Because the‘desert oasis irrigation agriculture’is a typical characteristic, soil conditions of the irrigation area play a fundamental role. Therefore, correct evaluation of soil resources in irrigation district can ensure the rational development and utilization of water and soil resource and sustainable development of agriculture and animal husbandry. In this paper, taking Xinjiang Aletay area akdala irrigation district as the research object, through investigation of the soil quality status of irrigation area, data collection, sample collection and laboratory analysis, the author analyzed the soil fertility, nutrient, salinity and variation of trace elements. The coefficient of the classification and evaluation of soil resources in Xinjiang was adopted to make a quantitative evaluation of the comprehensive quality of irrigated soil. The results proved that the area was suitable for agriculture development and optimum for animal husbandry development, and the study could provide technical references for irrigation planning, construction and management in arid desert area in the northern Xinjiang.
