Abstract: Based on the daily precipitation and average temperature data of 46 weather stations in Inner Mongolia from 1965 to 2014, the average temperature of 10-days and the spatial distribution maps of germination period, tuber formative period and tuber expand period of potato were drew, the suitable potato cultivars were selected in different areas in Inner Mongolia according to the water consumption rule of some main potato cultivars. The results showed that the suitable vegetable cultivar was ‘Kexin No.1’, starch process cultivar was ‘Longshu No.3’ and fried potato cultivar was ‘Burbank’ in northeast Inner Mongolia with the precipitation of 400-500 mm. In most part of eastern Inner Mongolia with the precipitation of 300-400 mm, the suitable vegetable cultivars were ‘Favorita’ and ‘Kexin No.1’, fried potato cultivars were ‘Shepody’, ‘Burbank’ and ‘Atlantic’. ‘Favorita’, ‘Shepody’ and ‘Burbank’ were suitable in central Inner Mongolia with the precipitation of 200-300 mm. ‘Favorita’, ‘Shepody’ and ‘Burbank’ were suitable under irrigation and filming in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia with lower precipitation. Because of the deficient precipitation and high temperature, the western region of Inner Mongolia was unsuitable for potato planting. The research results could provide reference for potato planting in Inner Mongolia.
