Seawater rice test yield holds promise for harsh lands

　　By Mao Weihua and Zheng Caixiong in Urumuqi | chinadaily. com. cn | Updated:  2019-11-19 17: 01

The seawater rice, developed by agricultural scientist Yuan Longping and his team, achieved a theoretical yield of 546. 74 kilograms per mu (0. 07 hectares) in a paddy in Yopurga county, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

　　The figure was announced after a strict and public evaluation last month by a production testing expert group, which consisted of four renowned rice experts.

　　Yuan Longping’s research team, which started planting rice in the saline-alkali field in 2018, expanded their experimental rice field to more than 20 hectares this year in the county, located near China’s largest desert, the Taklimakan.

　　The rice output from the experimental rice field indicated that the saline-alkali land can be transformed into good rice fields in three to five years, said Wang Qi, an expert with Yuan Longping’s research team.

　　The trial plot to grow the seawater rice is of a heavy saline-alkali nature, with salinity coming to more than 17 per 1, 000 parts and the pH value reaching over 8. 0, but the seawater rice has the effect of improving the soil and reducing the saline-alkali content, Wang said.
