The invention relates to a method for cultivating corn in saline-alkali soil. The method includes: broad irrigating the saline-alkali soil in the middle of March with the irrigation amount of 60-100m<3> each mu, airing for 1-1.5 months to allow earth surface to be dried enough for entering, applying 1000-1500kg of miscellaneous manure or 50-55kg of composite fertilizer to each mu, performing rotary tillage once to twice to mix the soil and the fertilizer, raking to preserve soil moisture, and levelling soil surface; processing with seed coating before sowing corn, adding pesticide first during germicide and pesticide seed dressing, piling and stuffing for 3-6 hours, then adding germicide, and sowing immediately after seed dressing, wherein the seed coating comprises actinomycin, bacillus subtilis, azospirillum, fulvic acid, carry powder, indole acetic acid, trace elements, alpha-pimacol growth regulator, EDTA-2Na chelating agent, humic acid and turf.
