The invention discloses a method for planting rice by fresh water irrigation and drainage and salt control in heavy saline-alkali land. The method comprises the following steps: 1, leveling cultivatedland with high precision; 2, preparing a water feeding and drainage system; 3, deeply loosening soil, wherein deep loosening is carried out by using a soil loosening plough, the depth is more than 60cm; 4, executing drip washing with water, wherein drip washing with water is that firstly ploughing is executed, then irrigation and soaking for 3 days is executed, and then quick water drainage is executed, and one or more times of drip washing with water is adopted according to the drip washing effect; 5, planting rice; 6, executing normal irrigation and drainage of fresh water, wherein fresh water is normally irrigated and drained at the initial stage of rice planting so as to achieve the aim of salt washing and controlling; 7, lightly baking fields and adopting no field baking; 8, improving the water quality requirement during the heading and flowering periods of the rice; 9, delaying water cut-off time, wherein water in the fields can be drained thoroughly after grain filling of therice and a yellow ripening stage comes. By adopting the method, rice can be planted in the heavy saline-alkali land, and it is proved through the practice that the growth of the rice is not affected.
