Professor of Crop Science
PHONE: (919) 513-3444E-MAIL: daryl_bowman@ncsu.eduIs a cotton breeder and heads the North Carolina Variety Testing Program. His research interests include statistical and practical aspects of variety testing, varietal development of cotton, and physical quality in flue-cured tobacco. As head of the variety testing program, he works with tobacco, corn, corn silage, grain sorghum, barley, oats, wheat, soybeans and cotton.
Williams Neal Reynolds Professor of Crop Science, Statistics, Genetics and Botany
PHONE: (919) 515-7039E-MAIL: major_goodman@ncsu.eduCorn geneticist. His research interests include isozyme genetics, evolution of cultivated plants, numerical taxonomy and plant breeding. He is working to adapt Latin American maizes to temperate areas and conducting statistical and genetic studies of racial diversity of maize.
Professor of Crop Science and Cropping Systems Specialist
PHONE: (252) 793-4428E-MAIL: ron_heiniger@ncsu.eduConducts research into using new technologies such as Global Positioning Systems and Computerized Decision Aids to implement precision farming practices. Currently, he is involved in establishing a site-specific demonstration location where research and extension projects examining the benefits of precision farming can be conducted. Dr. Heiniger is also working on research projects that are testing the benefits of new harvest methods for wheat and using cover crops in cropping systems in eastern North Carolina.
Alumni Distinguished Professor of Crop Science
Coordinator of Undergraduate Programs
PHONE: (919) 513-3423E-MAIL: bob_patterson@ncsu.eduCrop physiologist whose primary research interests include evaluation of the influence of environmental stress on crop performance. The goal of current research is to provide a physiological basis for adaptive mechanisms found to be responsible for stress tolerance, especially drought, in grain legumes.
