Currently, he holds concurrent positions as an Executive Council Member of the Chinese Horticultural Society, Head of the Fruit and Forestry Sub‑Group of the Agricultural Expert Advisory Panel of the Shandong Provincial People’s Government, Director of the Shandong Apple Engineering Technology Research Center, and Chief Expert on Fruit Trees for the Shandong Province Agricultural Superior‑Variety Industrialization Project.
For 51 years, he has been engaged in teaching, research, and extension work in fruit tree cultivation, physiology, and production. He has developed innovative, domestically leading—partially internationally advanced—systematic theoretical contributions in the areas of carbon–nitrogen nutrition in fruit trees, root biology, and the principles underlying high-yield, superior-quality cultivation techniques, earning him considerable influence within the fruit‑tree community both at home and abroad.
It has received one Second-Class National Award for Scientific and Technological Progress, two First-Class Provincial/Ministerial Awards for Scientific and Technological Progress, and four Second-Class awards, with its applications generating substantial economic benefits.
The “plastic mulch‑based pit‑storage technique for fertilizer and irrigation water” was designated by the State Science and Technology Commission as a key demonstration project during the Seventh and Eighth Five-Year Plans, with implementation on 4.7 million mu across 17 provinces and municipalities, generating an additional output value of 760 million yuan.
The “Research and Development of High-Yield, High-Quality Techniques for One Million Mu of Young Apple Trees in Shandong Province” has been implemented across 1.08 million mu, increasing per‑mu yields from 129 kg to 1,010 kg—approaching the levels seen in developed countries—and generating an additional net benefit of RMB 5.6 billion.
Actively advocating for and promoting protected‑field production, a new technical system for fruit tree protection has been established.
For his outstanding achievements in scientific and technological work, he was awarded the China Agricultural Science and Technology Award in 1997, recognized as a National Advanced Worker in Science Popularization in 1999, and honored as a National Advanced Worker in Agricultural Science and Technology in 2001.
He has served as the chief or co‑author of six textbooks and monographs, published more than 30 scholarly papers, and led the Fruit Tree Science discipline at Shandong Agricultural University in establishing master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral research stations. He has mentored 28 master’s students, 19 doctoral students, and 11 postdoctoral fellows. Currently, he is principal investigator on two “948” projects, one Ministry of Science and Technology project on fruit processing, and three major provincial projects under the Shandong Province Superior Variety Industrialization Program. He also participated in the formulation of the “2116” Plan, making outstanding contributions to modern agriculture.
