Staying with Prof. Zhu Heping, one of our outstanding alumni
We fully understood the frontier and pattern of agricultural engineering R&D in US and the process of greenhouse production through the visit, which should be beneficial to our undergoing project. Closer collaboration relationship between us has been promoted.
