【Hi, Shandong】From saline-alkali lands to high-yield fertile farmland: Discover the “ secrets” of saline-alkali land.
On August 13, overseas media representatives and foreign expats from , , South Korea, Sri Lanka, and visited the National Technology Innovation Center for Comprehensive Utilization of Saline-Alkali Land in City, east China's Province, during the "Strolling Through Dongying, Decoding Yellow River Culture" International Communication Event. The delegation toured scientific research platforms and experimental fields. They gained first-hand insight into how scientific and technological taps new potential for saline-alkali land in Dongying.
Located in the core of the Yellow River Delta, Dongying has large scale of saline-alkali land, making the improvement of such land highly significant. Dongying has integrated , , and biological measures to tackle key bottlenecks in coastal saline-alkali land upgrading. The city has also explored rapid biological improvement models, popularizing the practice of turning salt-tolerant rapeseed under the soil as green manure. After three consecutive years, soil organic matter content has risen by 29 percent, while soil salinity has dropped from 8‰ to below 3‰. High-efficiency water-saving technologies have been rolled out, and digital intelligence empowers water-saving management. Through multiple approaches, Dongying pursues coordinated development of production, featured industries, facility and ecological conservation.
