Wang Tao has long been engaged in the research and achievement transformation of compound and pollution-free plant growth regulators, three-dimensional and industrialized plant breeding and social forestry engineering.

Life of the characters

Wang Tao was born in Jiaozhou City, Qingdao City, Shandong Province on June 1, 1936. He studied in Qingdao No.2 Middle School. In August 1955, Wang Tao studied in the Department of forestry, Beijing Forestry University (renamed Beijing Forestry University in 1985). In July 1959, after graduating from Beijing Forestry University, Wang Tao was assigned to work in China Academy of Forestry Sciences, and successively served as assistant researcher, associate researcher and researcher of the Institute. In August of the same year, he served as the leader of the seedling group of the afforestation Research Office (until January 1962). In January 1962, Wang Tao was the head of seed group of genetics and Breeding Research Office of Institute of forestry, Chinese Academy of Forestry Sciences (until December 1964). In March 1978, Wang Tao entered the fourth English class of the Chinese Academy of forestry for one year (until March 1979). In January 1988, as a visiting scholar, Wang Tao went to Texas A & M University to study for half a year (until June 1988). In 1989, Kezhi daily published a short comment on "advocating the spirit of Wang Tao". In 1994, Wang Tao was elected as one of the first academicians of the Chinese Academy of engineering under the Ministry of agriculture (forest cultivation). In February of the same year, he served as honorary director of Institute of forest ecological environment, Chinese Academy of Forestry Sciences (until December 1999). At 19:56 on August 10, 2011, Wang Tao died in Beijing at the age of 75.

Main achievements

Achievements in scientific research

Wang Tao has done a lot of work in forest cultivation and research, development and promotion of pollution-free and compound plant growth regulators. He is also engaged in the investigation, research and development of woody plant resources of main fuel oil in China. in the 1960s, Wang Tao was engaged in the research work of forest seed breeding and seed orchard; in the early 1980s, he began to engage in the research of plant asexual propagation and three-dimensional and industrialized seedling raising; after the successful development of compound plant growth regulators abt and GGR, Wang Tao led her team to create a new industry in the front line of research and development, achievement transformation and production and management, which was driven by the promotion task Basic theory, development, application technology, promotion mechanism and mode research as one of the achievements transformation system. in the 1990s, Wang Tao systematically summarized and optimized the technology, talents and organizational resources contained in the forestry system through "research and implementation of China's social forestry engineering innovation system", integrated and innovated the advanced and practical forestry technology since the founding of the people's Republic of China, provided a certain scientific and technological support for the "six major projects based forestry ecological construction", and provided scientific and technological support for the forestry science and technology integrated innovation New and socialized services have explored a new way, and also created a new mode for the implementation of social forestry in the world. in the 21st century, Wang Tao selected seven tree species which can be used as liquid biomass raw materials on the basis of "general survey, research and development of woody plant resources of main fuel oil in China", and studied their resource quantity, distribution law, biological characteristics, commercial characters and molecular biology. On this basis, we undertake the "11th Five Year Plan" key project of the Ministry of science and technology "Research on efficient cultivation technology of agricultural and forestry biomass resources" to provide technical basis for the cultivation of woody resources for biomass fuel oil industry. During the "12th Five Year Plan" period, we undertook the Ministry of finance's "Research on cultivation, development and utilization of new woody biomass energy resources", and carried out the corresponding docking research on production technology and process flow to establish the corresponding industrial chain. Around the large-scale cultivation of woody bioenergy tree species, we carried out the conservation of excellent germplasm resources, breeding of improved varieties, and regional experiments. According to the adaptability range of each tree species, site division and regional experiments of high-yield cultivation, we put forward 10 large-scale high-yield cultivation modes and technical regulations for different sites. as of September 2011, Wang Tao has published 44 monographs. up to September 2011, Wang Tao, as the first adult, has won the national science and technology progress award, the second prize (two) and the third prize of the National Invention Award, the Ministry of forestry science and technology progress award, the first prize and eight other science and technology awards, three national patents, and 12 awards from six countries and international organizations.

personnel training

As of November 2015, Wang Tao has trained more than 20 doctoral students. According to the National Library Reference Union, Wang Tao's training of students in China Academy of Forestry Sciences is as follows:

Honorary recognition
