Zhang Dajian

Zhang Dajian is a professor and the vice dean at the College of Agriculture of Shandong Agricultural University. He has made significant contributions to agricultural science, particularly in the area of soybean cultivation. His research focuses on developing soybean varieties that can thrive in saline-alkaline soils, which were previously considered unproductive. Under his leadership, a core germplasm bank in the Huang-Huai-Hai region was established, leading to the creation of new high-yield and salt-tolerant soybean cultivars. His work aims to transform barren land into productive fields, promoting both ecological sustainability and economic benefits for farmers.
