Abstract: In order to reasonably plan and establish high acid apple production base, ecological adaptability of ‘Granny Smith’in various regions in Ningxia was studied. According to its characteristics of growth and development, using the information of air temperature, precipitation, sunshine hours, frost free period, accumulated temperature and soil type in Ningxia, the author analyzed the suitability of‘Granny Smith’to climate and soil conditions. The results showed that the ecological conditions of Yellow River irrigation area was suitable for planting‘Granny Smith’due to the abundant sunshine, suitable heat resources, fertile soil and irrigation facilities. North of the middle dry area was the less suitable area for‘Granny Smith’ . South of the middle dry area and south mountain area were the unsuitable areas due to short frost free period and obviously insufficient active accumulated temperature. The study can provide reference for the rational planning of ‘Granny Smith’production base.
