清代至民国时期，甘肃陇右地区的黄河沿岸和天水-陇南地区曾经是重要棉花产区，但这两大产棉地区产棉规模日渐缩小，最终废弃。该文通过对这两个棉花产区棉花作物种植从兴起到废弃过程的诸多因素考察，指出这两大棉花产区放弃种植的原因是当地生态条件和经济效益不利于发挥植棉优势之故。但具体来讲，棉花作物在黄河沿岸棉区被废弃是由于不同作物在同一地区传播的竞争过程中棉花不占经济利益的优势而被淘汰。

During the period from Qing to The Republic of China, the area along the Yellow River and the areas of Tianshui and Longnan were very important regions in which a lot of cotton were planted, but the scale of the cotton planting in these areas was smaller and smaller,at last,cotton planting was given up in these areas. The reasons for this fact are ecological conditions and economic benefit and these areas were not fit for cotton planting. Through some historical geographical analysis, this article points out that the most important reason of people giving up cotton planting is the advantages of planting other crops over cotton planting.
