Chinese farmers pick and bind saline rice seedlings to be planted in the fields at a farm on the outskirts of Lianyungang city, east China's Jiangsu province, 30 May 2018. Researchers on Monday (28 May 2018) expanded the testing of rice growing with saline-alkali soil across China to choose breeds with quality and optimum yield. According to Zhang Guodong, deputy director of Qingdao's saline-alkali tolerant rice research and development center, in eastern Shandong province, the new tests almost cover all major types of saline-alkali soil in China. The six testing bases are located across Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region and the provinces of Heilongjiang, Shandong, Zhejiang, and Shaanxi. Yuan Longping, China's "Father of Hybrid Rice" who helped found the Qingdao center, said that if 100 million mu (6.7 million hectares) of saline land can be used to grow saline-alkali tolerant rice, the country could produce an extra of 30 billion kg of rice if production per mu reaches 300 kg.
