Zhu Zhaoliang has long been engaged in soil nitrogen research. The key points are: (1) Committed to establishing a recommended method and theoretical basis for the appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer that meets the actual conditions of China’s rural areas and can coordinate high-yield and environmental protection requirements, including soil nitrogen mineralization and its prediction, and nitrogen fertilizer in farmland ecosystems The fate of nitrogen fertilizer and its relationship with the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied, etc., proposed the recommended concept of “combination of regional total control and field fine-tuning”; and (2) the fate of nitrogen fertilizer in farmland ecosystems and soil properties, application period and application method, The relationship between water conditions and irrigation, and its mechanism, proposes nitrogen management strategies to improve nitrogen management to increase the agronomic effects of nitrogen fertilizer and reduce its environmental impact. Published more than 140 papers and edited the 1992 Chinese version of "China Soil Nitrogen" and the 1997 English version of "Nitrogen in Soils of China". In 1989, he was awarded the title of "Young and Middle-aged Experts with Outstanding Contributions", and in 1993 he was awarded the Tan Kah Kee Agricultural Science Award. He has won 10 national and provincial science awards.
