Dr. Dunphy's training was at the University of Illinois (B.S. in Ag Science in 1962, M.S. in Soil Fertility in 1964) and Iowa State University (Ph.D. in Soil Fertility in 1972). Prior to coming to NCSU, he was Extension Crop Production Specialist at Iowa State University. He has been Crop Science Extension Specialist (Soybeans) at NCSU since 1975, and was promoted to professor in 1986.
field day training Dr. Dunphy's primary responsibility is training field faculty, and providing support for their soybean educational efforts. He also advises Field Crop Technology majors, and teaches Soybean Production (CS-064), in the Ag Institute (2-year) program.
on-farm test

Dr. Dunphy and the state's field faculty conduct an extensive on-farm test and demonstration program to support their educational programs. Current efforts include:

Potential Yield Enhancements

new pic These tests compare the potential for several newer seed treatments, inoculants, and other products improve soybean yields and profits under North Carolina conditions.

Summary of results.

Low Populations for Roundup-Ready Varieties

seed plots These tests compare yields and profitability of eight population levels of Roundup-Ready varieties, both full season and double crop. In addition to determining how low populations can go, these sites provide a visual picture of similar stands at two stages of crop development.

Summary of results.

Variety Demonstrations

Variety Demonstrations Seed, plot signs, and location signs are made available to interested counties of the most promising conventional, Roundup-Ready, or STS varieties.

Summary of demonstrations and locations.

Teaching And Training

seed plots Dr. Dunphy teaches CS-064, a 1-hour course on Soybean Production. Topics covered include growth and development, liming and fertilization, varieties and seed, pest management, harvesting and marketing soybeans. Students continue to evaluate this course as one of the most useful in the Ag Institute.
field day image Dr. Dunphy is also active in the International Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) program. He serves as adviser to the state CCA board, North Carolina's representative to the International CCA Advisory Council, member of the International CCA Board, and the CCA representative on the American Society of Agronomy board.

NC Soybean Contests
