A large number of excellent germplasm have been created, water-saving and drought-resistant rice with "water saving and drought resistance, high yield and high quality, less fertilizer application, less pesticides, energy conservation and emission reduction, easy planting and easy management" has been bred, and has developed green cultivation techniques based on "drought direct seeding and drought management".

Under irrigation conditions, its yield and rice quality are basically the same as that of rice, but it can save more than 50% of water and has good drought resistance (or basically has the drought resistance of upland rice varieties)

In terms of cultivation, it is simple and easy to carry out, with low investment, energy conservation and environmental protection. Water-saving and drought-resistant rice plays a promoting role in achieving agricultural dual carbon goals.
