Rank-based Mann-Kendall trend test and linear regression method are used to detect the significance and the magnitude of growing season change, respectively. Regionally, the average onset of the growing season has shifts 5.3days earlier while the average ending date has moved 7.1days later, increasing the length of the growing season by an average of 12.6days. This study reveals a quite different result from previous studies. While the lengthening of the growing season in Xinjiang in the past 50years is similar to that of previous studies, we find that the lengthening can be mainly attributed to delay of cessation in autumn rather than advance of onset in spring. The extended growing season will have strong implications in regional agricultural production of Xinjiang.
