Main work

Prof. Zhang Jinping, mainly engaged in forestry residues high-value utilization technology research. The first or correspondence author published more than 40 papers, including 13 SCI papers. The first inventor authorized 18 patents   for invention. The first person to receive one award of the Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology Progress. The first Completer won one prize of Liangxi Forestry Science and technology progress. A lot of studies have been carried out on the cultivation of edible fungi such as Stropharia rugosa, Poria Cocos, flower and plant seedlings in forest residue-based forests.

The main research contents are as follows:

  •  (the treatment of high-content forest residues such as cellulose, lignin and secondary metabolites by physical-chemical-biological three-step coupling maturation;

  • The substrate suitable for different tree species and edible and medicinal fungi, such as Tricholoma akashiwo, Ganoderma lucidum, auricularia auricula and so on;

  • adjusting C/N ratio by mixed nitrogen source and adding bacterial agent in different stages, and improving the yield and the content of effective components, the rapid high temperature (≥55° C) aerobic fermentation of forestry residues was realized, and the technical difficulties of heating and fermentation of forestry residues with high content of cellulose, lignin and secondary metabolites were effectively overcome, a series of breeding media were developed to meet the individual needs.

After the application and popularization of this technology, the residues of pruning branches of camellia oleifera, Carya cathayensis shell, processing residues of camellia oleifera, awn stalk, shrub and branch from forest tending, Phytophthora massoniana, fungus residue, etc., under the forest cultivation red matsutake, Poria Cocos, fermentation production organic fertilizer, seedling substrate, and so on, the cost reduced by more than 25%. The technique effectively solved the technical problems of poor adaptability and low utilization rate of edible and medicinal fungi, provided a new way for the resource utilization of pine blight wood, and effectively alleviated the dependence of seedling substrate on peat resources.

The results have been applied to enterprises and forest farms in Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and other counties and cities in China, and achieved remarkable results.
