The experimental field of Yongxing Island in Sansha City enjoyed a bumper harvest, and seven kinds of vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage and lettuce, were harvested 1500 kilograms on half an acre of beach.

A naval unit stationed in Xisha, together with the research team of Chongqing Jiaotong University, learned from the planting experience of desert experimental field and turned the "beach" into "fertile soil".

After four months of exploration, a powdery plant attachment material which can be mixed with coral sand was developed, and a "fertile soil" suitable for vegetable growth was successfully transformed.

The reason why vegetables are difficult to grow in saline-alkali land;

Because coral sandy land contains a lot of saline-alkali and lacks fresh water, it is difficult for vegetables to survive and the supply of vegetables is insufficient. In case of typhoon weather or insufficient supply, officers and men can only eat kelp, vermicelli, yuba, pumpkin and other vegetables.

Nowadays, after planting vegetables in saline-alkali sandy land, many netizens saw this news and said, "It's amazing!" "Great, China is the best" and "Great! In the future, soldiers can eat fresh vegetables at any time. " "The wisdom of human beings is infinite, which is too explosive."
