The land was flooded by the Yellow River, China's second longest, in the 1930s due to war and became unsuitable for farming because of high soil salinity.
"We can get real-time data and analysis of the salinity of seawater, the amount of plankton and others," said Wang Lixin, manager of the company.
However, the district has not been a productive area for crops, because its soil has a high level of salinity as a result of coastal erosion and saltwater saturation.
Xu, 55, has cultivated soybean varieties for more than three decades, spending 10 years producing the Qihuang 34 variety, which can be grown on soil with a relatively low level of salinity, and on ordinary soil.
"This year in Kenli, the company has planted 733 hectares with Qihuang 34 soybeans on land with a low level of salinity.
