  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Photosynthesis

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Botany, Chlorophyll and Plant physiology. His work on Gossypium as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Morphology, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. In his study, Red edge, Stomatal conductance, Herbaceous plant and Sorghum is strongly linked to Dry weight, which falls under the umbrella field of Photosynthesis.

He works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to topics relating to Horticulture and, in certain cases, Column, as a part of the same area of interest. His Plant physiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fertilizer and Crop yield. Duli Zhao combines subjects such as Biomass and Photosynthetically active radiation with his study of Crop yield.

His most cited work include:

  • Field crop responses to ultraviolet-B radiation: a review (379 citations)
