Abstract
This chapter briefly reviews the history of research on the improvement and utilization of saline–alkali land , and introduces the latest developments in the current international research. With water and fertilizer as the center, measures in engineering, agriculture, and biology are combined to improve the saline–alkali land . Salt water irrigation, new chemical improvement methods, introduction of salt-tolerant plants , and so on are new measures for the improvement and utilization of saline–alkali soils. The progress has promoted the breeding of salt-tolerant varieties and accelerated the pace of improvement and utilization of saline–alkali land .
