Extract

Professor Li has taught botany since 1940 at University of Nanking, Nanking, China, and weed science at Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, China, since 1964. He developed and taught the school's first weed science course and he presently teaches botany, crop plant anatomy, and weed identification and control. Under his direction, programs in weed quarantine and biological weed control have been instituted and supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Bureau of Education (present name: Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fishery). One of his prime targets has been the study of darnel and the biological control of dodder on soybeans. Professor Li is the supervisor of several graduate students for the Masters and Ph.D. degrees. While at Nanjing, he also has directed the establishment of the most complete herbarium of weeds and weed seeds in China. Currently, Professor Li is editing Weed Flora of China. In addition to publishing many weed texts and teaching short courses on weed identification and control within China, he is a member of the FAO Panel of Experts on Improved Weed Management.
