On the 6th, the reporter learned from the official of Golmud City, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province that after leveling, part of the Gobi Desert in the Qaidam Basin became paddy fields, and sea rice was officially transplanted in the Qaidam Basin.

According to Wu Zhanyong, academician of China Academy of Engineering and director of the saline-alkali land rice improvement technology division of Qingdao Sea Rice Research and Development Center, this year is the first time for the team to carry out rice planting experiments in cold and high altitude areas. Through salt (alkali), cold and drought tolerance tests on rice, cold and drought tolerance rice varieties were screened and cultivated, so as to cultivate "sea rice" in the cold plateau area.

Promote the agricultural modernization transformation in Qinghai with the latest scientific and technological achievements, create a new model of "saline-alkali land improvement+sea rice planting+digital agriculture", and provide high-quality rice seeds for the adjustment of agricultural planting structure in Golmud, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Qaidam Basin.
