In 1996-1998, 400 isolates were collected from main cotton growing areas in Xinjiang Autonomous Region. 108 strains of fusarium wilt were isolated and purified. 45 representative strains were identified with 9 different hosts. The result showed that the dominant race of cotton fusarium wilt in Xinjiang was still race 7. It has stronger pathogenicity against cotton. The pathogenicity types of fusarium wilt in Xinjiang are mainly divided into strong and weak pathogenicity types. Strong pathogenicity type distributed in southern and northern cotton growing areas while the weak one distributed in eastern cotton growing area in Xinjiang. So far, race 3 has not been found in Xinjiang. Characters of macro conidia and temperature reaction of culture of 32 strains were assessed systemically.
