New Strains of Crops Bred
Pyongyang, March 18 (KCNA) -- The Bioengineering Branch of the State Academy of Sciences in the DPRK bred new varieties of crops.

One of them is a new strain of salt-resisting rice with stronger vitality.

It was cultivated in some tideland-turned fields of South Hwanghae and South Phyongan provinces to be proved highly productive.

Another is new corn highly resistant to harmful insects.

Efforts are paid to cultivating those new strains in different co-op farms across the country.
