Abstract:

To study the geographical suitability and spatial distribution characteristics of blueberry cultivation in Taishun County, and to improve the production efficiency of blueberries, a comprehensive approach was employed considering natural factors such as topography, climate, and soil conditions. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was utilized to construct an evaluation index system for blueberry growth suitability. Additionally, GIS spatial technology was integrated to identify potential suitable areas and their distribution in Taishun County.The results revealed that the potential suitable land area for blueberry cultivation in Taishun County is approximately 17 784.40 hm2, accounting for 10.06% of the county's total area. The suitability range is extensive, but conditions vary in different geographical locations. Generally, the southern region exhibits the most favorable natural conditions, with Shiyang Town having an absolute advantage in both potential suitable land area and aggregation. Therefore, it is recommended to optimize resource allocation, enhance technological support, establish agricultural cooperation mechanisms, and implement monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.The overall strategy is suggested focusing on the development of suitable areas, exploring the planting potential of less suitable land, and prioritizing the establishment of blueberry demonstration pilot projects, particularly in Shiyang Town. This approach aims to stimulate the development of the southern region of Taishun County, gradually promoting the overall development of the blueberry industry throughout the county.
