Academic Qualifications

Clarifying the basic law of achieving the yield of 1000kgper mu (666.7 m2) and the way for the yield to break through, and breaking the national record of maize yield for six times, making the per unit yield of corn in China break through the yield of "1500kg"per mu.

Clarifying the law of dynamic changes of grain moisture content before and after physiological maturity main maize varieties in different regions, and clarifying the relationships between grain water content and breakage rate, impurity rate and loss rate harvesting grain by machine harvester in China.

Developing a number of technologies and software system of crop precision cultivation, realizing accurate monitoring and visual management of crop growth condition index, it provides technique support for precision crop production.

2015: Series of maize field planting manual and wall charts, the second prize of national science and technology progress award, the fifth contributor
