　　Three experimental fields of seawater rice were harvested in China on Wednesday, a further step toward its future commercial use. Also known as saline-alkali tolerant rice（耐盐碱水稻）, seawater rice is designed to grow in tidal flats or other areas with heavy salt content and has been developed by plant-breeding experts through crossbreeding（杂交育种） and other technologies.

　　One type of seawater rice growing in Qingdao's Chengyang district, Shandong province, yielded 3.9 metric tons per hectare, experts announced. Once widely planted on a large scale, the yield could be much higher.

　　The Qingdao Saline-Alkali Tolerant Rice Research and Development Center, led by famous Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping, was established three years ago. It set itself a three-year target of developing a kind of salt-resistant rice strain capable of yielding 4.5 tons a hectare, which would guarantee growers the minimum acceptable level of profit. The average rice yield in China is 6.75 tons a hectare.

Planting in the experimental field in Chengyang district and five other plots of saline-alkali land started at the end of May. The five other plots were in Dongying,
