Brazilian upland rice Aiba 9 was used as the control,comparison experiments of five new upland rice varieties such as Handao 502 and Handao 10 etc.
Experimental results also indicated that upland rice, with strong root system and high water uptake ability, is rather suitable to the hilly red earth area.
The improved methods for drought tolerance of rice and the utilization of upland rice germplasm in the paddy-upland hybrid rice were also discussed.
T5 Farmers' practice( upland rice planting up and down slope every two years). The work under this treatment was carried out by farmers.
Another tack would be to tilt production toward upland rice, which is grown on dry land and absorbs far less arsenic than paddy rice.
The characters of mineral nutrition uptake and efficiency of tiller production in upland rice were studied with pond culture experiment.
The soybean ferritin gene can be transferred into upland rice using the method of Biolistic and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, which increased iron concentration in the transgenic plant seeds.
Planting upland rice has broad prospects.
