Abstract: The paper aims to use climate resources rationally and adjust planting varieties of sorghum. The author used standard climate statistics data from 109 meteorological stations in Shanxi Province during 1981- 2012, and established a regression model between climate division factors of sorghum and geographic information, identified the indicators of comprehensive climate division in Shanxi, and also divided the area to early mature area, middle-early mature area, middle-late mature area, late mature area for sorghum planting. The results showed that the division which provided important support for developing sorghum industry was more visual and precise than traditional division.
