Research Area

He is a principal scientist of the Research and Development Center of Rice Production Technology, CNRRI; Director of Research Department of Cultivation and Fertilization, China National Rice Industry, and the leader of Rice Highly Effective Production Technology Innovation Research Team in CNRRI. His main research achievements are the creation of method and technology of aerobic irrigation in paddy rice system, theory and technology of rice intensification system, machine transplanting technology of pot-mat seedling, seedling matrix and seedling raising method for machine transplanting. Several rice cultivation technologies were applied as the leading technology by MOA in rice production. He has been awarded more than 10 Provincial/Ministerial Prizes for Science and Technology Progress or technology extension. He has received over 20 patents authorized in China, and published more than 150 scientific papers and 10 books.

He is the Trustee of Chinese Society of Crop Science, Chinese Society of Rice Industry, and Chinese Society of Plant Nutrition and Fertilizer. He is the editorial committee member of Chinese Journal of Rice Science and vice editor of Rice science, as well as the Honorary Scientist of Rural Development Administration (2011-2013), Republic of Korea.
