Aunque las variedades japonesas de arroz fueron introducidas en Taiwán desde 1912, no daban rendimientos tan buenos como las nativas, especialmente en el sur de la isla y en general en las tierras bajas. A principios de 1926 comienza un programa completo de hibridación y prueba para desarrollar variedades de arroz del tipo japónica apropiadas al clima tropical de Taiwán. Entre 1931 y 1943 los investigadores desarrollaron una serie de variedades del tipo japónica llamadas ponlais(arroz celestial), que daban rendimientos tan buenos como las variedades locales o aun mejores, y producían granos de la calidad que atraía a los japoneses. 2, record 2, Spanish, - ponlai

En las regiones tropicales y húmedas, el agua tibia ligeramente ácida provoca una alteración de los suelos, por hidrólisis de los silicatos complejos (feldespatos). La alúmina y los óxidos de hierro así liberados permanecen en la superficie, mientras que la sílice y las bases (óxidos alcalinos) son arrastradas por las aguas infiltradas. El suelo, entonces, sufre una alteración que lo enriquece en hierro y en alúmina, menos solubles.
