Abstract：Three cotton varieties, Lumianyan 21, Lumianyan 28 and K638, were cultivated in Linqing ( Northwestern Shandong ) , Huimin ( Northern Shandong ) and Chengwu ( Southwestern Shandong ) to study the effect of different ecological areas on cotton fiber quality .The results showed that the southwestern and northwestern Shandong produced longer fiber , while northern Shandong produced shorter fiber; but the fiber fineness in northern Shandong was better than that in southwestern and northwestern Shandong .Fiber strength was correlated with variety type .Early-developed type Lumianyan 21 performed better in northern Shandong , and late-developed type K638 performed better in southwestern Shandong;no significant differences in fiber maturity was observed in three areas for the stable -developed variety Lumianyan 28 .Screening varieties based on variety type and ecological zone , and planning variety distribution were the key ways to improve cot-ton fiber quality .
