Yuan Longpinghai rice demonstration project started in Qingdao

Chined Chinese Academy of Engineering
Yuan Longping led the Qingdao Hai Rice Research and Development Center on the 5th launched 10,000 mu of salt-resistant super hybrid rice demonstration planting project, workers took the lead on the same day in Qingdao City Yang District 5000 mu of saline reclamation finishing, hundreds of modern agricultural machinery is working at the same time, thousands of acres of saline land from a barren into spring cultivation hot soil.
The start of planting is including the new varieties of "excellent thousand" including the demonstration of saline-resistant rice (also known as sea rice), reporters saw that more than a dozen plant protection drones are in different regions to spray soil regulators. According to the introduction, the plant protection drone using GPS positioning system, the early stage only need to measure and register the work area, and mark ponds, utility poles and other obstacles data, and then pass the data to the handheld terminal, the drone can be based on the set lines, areas for spraying operations, safe and time-saving, greatly improving agricultural productivity.
" through comprehensive reclamation, The 5000 mu of saline land on the Taoyuan River will be planted in Shanghai rice seedlings in May, which will also drive the efficient use of more than 13,000 mu of saline land on both sides of the Taoyuan River, helping to turn millions of acres of wasteland into good fields. Xu Kuiwang, a member of the Party Work Committee of Shanghai Street in Qingdao City Yang District, told reporters that in the future, the area will be built as a model for
"salt-alkali land improvement and smart agriculture", releasing huge economic efficiency.
" Qingdao base laboratory is currently the main work is to test rice samples, test seed germination rate, through the analysis of soil and water climate conditions at various bases throughout the country, select varieties of materials that meet the local light and heat conditions, and seed screening, for each base of sea rice cultivation and production to do a good job of seeding. Zhang Guodong, head of the demonstration project and chairman of nine-day Smart Agriculture Group Co., Ltd., said.
reporter learned that Yuan Longping in 2012 began to lead the Qingdao sea rice team in Shandong to engage in salt-resistant rice breeding and cultivation system research, and set up a national salt-resistant rice varieties regional test complex, in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei, Tianjin, Liaoning and other provinces and cities set up 23 district pilot, after years of efforts, there are now 3 varieties reported for review. In May 2018, the project team also succeeded in experimental rice cultivation in the Tropical Desert of Dubai.
2020, Yuan Longping plans to carry out a national experiment demonstration of 10,000 mu of sea rice, in Qingdao, Weifang, Dongying and other places to promote salt-resistant alkali rice more than 10,000 mu, in Inner Mongolia Hangjinqi, Xinjiang and other places to promote more than 5000 mu, sea rice team this year in the country's demonstration planting area will reach 1 million mu.
Zhang Guodong introduced, sea rice research and development is the combination of salt-alkali-resistant rice and saline land engineering improvement technology, the technology to sea rice and intelligent agriculture as the core, to achieve the whole factor, full chain, industry and the region's intelligent agriculture, this technology will be driven by China's trillion-grade saline land improvement, can effectively salt-alkali land, unused land, idle low-yielding fields to carry out a comprehensive upgrade and utilization.
that China has 1.5 billion mu of saline land, about 300 million mu has the potential to transform into farmland, through the promotion of the cultivation of sea rice can make 100 million mu of wasteland into grain silos. Yuan Longping believes that if China can develop 100 million mu of salt-alkali land to grow rice, yield up to 300 kg per mu, can increase the total output of 30 billion kg, is conducive to ensuring food security, and salt-alkali land is mostly distributed in poor areas, construction funds can effectively drive accurate poverty alleviation, and truly achieve "food in the land, grain in the technology."
