What crops are suitable for planting in saline-alkali soil? Salt-tolerant varieties recommended

Good land can grow good crops, but not all land is good. For example, saline-alkali soil makes it relatively difficult to grow crops, but there are still crops suitable for planting in saline-alkali soil. Below, the editor introduces for you what is suitable for planting in saline-alkali soil?

1. Baitiao (Nitraria)

Baitiao (Nitraria) is a Chinese medicinal material with extremely strong adaptability, featuring cold tolerance, drought tolerance, preference for saline-alkali soil, high-temperature tolerance and tolerance of poor soil. It is generally used for wasteland reclamation and construction. In fact, many medicinal materials have a certain degree of alkali tolerance, but Baitiao can be said to be the Chinese medicinal material most suitable for surviving and growing in saline-alkali soil. Moreover, Baitiao is also suitable for extensive planting and management models, with a developed root system and strong reproductive capacity. Even in desolate areas and saline-alkali soil, its yield is very considerable. If 300-400 plants are planted per mu, it generally produces 600-800 jin of Baitiao fruit. Calculated at a market price of five yuan per jin, the income per mu can also reach three to four thousand yuan.

2. Xuanshen (Scrophularia ningpoensis)

The reason Xuanshen is said to be suitable for planting in saline-alkali soil is that it has extremely strong saline-alkali resistance and also strong drought resistance. Generally, water resources in saline-alkali soil are relatively limited. The planting technology for Xuanshen is also relatively simple, and mechanized planting can also be carried out, which further improves planting efficiency and accelerates the progress of saline-alkali soil reclamation. Xuanshen is a major bulk Chinese medicinal material with relatively large market demand, and planting it in saline-alkali soil does not affect its yield. Therefore, Xuanshen is an ideal variety suitable for planting in saline-alkali soil.

3. Goji (Lycium chinense)

Goji has the characteristics of cold tolerance and cold tolerance. It can not only grow in environments with extremely low temperatures, but also grow in relatively arid areas with relatively high temperatures. Therefore, many wasteland reclamation projects also use goji planting to carry it out. Generally speaking, goji mostly grows in saline-alkali zones or sandy loam soil, and its fruit is large, with many flowers and fruits, and both yield and quality are quite good. Although planting it in fertile loam brings higher economic benefits, it must also be said that goji is also a medicinal material suitable for planting in saline-alkali soil.

4. Caojueming (Cassia obtusifolia)

Caojueming is actually Juemingzi (cassia seed), a Chinese medicinal material commonly used in our daily lives. It not only protects eyesight and improves vision, but also lowers blood pressure and blood lipids. Caoyueming generally grows on hillsides, open fields, or sandy riverside land. Its vitality is also relatively tenacious, and it has a certain saline-alkali tolerance, so it can also grow very well in saline-alkali soil and is suitable for planting in saline-alkali soil.
