A-3. Statement of Responsibilities

Dr. Xinhua (Frank) Yin holds a 100% research appointment as a Systems Agronomist in the

University of Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station. He is a member of the Department of

5

Plant Sciences at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and is stationed at the West Tennessee

Research and Education Center in Jackson. Dr. Yin was hired as an assistant professor in January

2008 in the area of systems agronomy. He is developing a research program which addresses the

needs of producers of agronomic crops. His research foci are on variable input and precision

applications to optimize cropping systems; fertility/nutrient management in rotational cropping

systems; sustainability of various row-crop production strategies; and evaluation of innovative

products.

Dr. Yin has been conducting research in the following areas across the state: physiological bases

of using canopy optical sensing and plant height sensing to precisely detect within-field

variations; development of algorithms for variable-rate N applications for cotton and corn based

on Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and yield maps; long-term impacts of cover crops,

crop rotations, and conservation tillage systems on soil health, nutrient cycling, soil water

availability, and crop productivity; impacts of biofertilizer and NPK briquettes on corn

productivity and soil health relative to ammonium sulfate and recommended fertilizer practices;

potential effects of high levels of corn residue on soil C sequestration, soil quality, and crop

yields; cotton yield and quality responses to sulfur application rates and foliar zinc fertilization

under no-tillage; and responses of nutrient use efficiency and yields of corn and cotton to N and

P use efficiency enhancers.

Dr. Yin’s research responsibilities include conceiving, designing, executing, interpreting, and

reporting research projects; attracting extramural funding from federal and state governmental

agencies, industries, and growers’ associations; developing and monitoring annual operating and

capital budgets, and monitoring expenditures to accomplish project objectives; recruiting, hiring,

and evaluating supporting staff; developing and implementing safety guidelines and procedures;

overseeing progress and ensuring data integrity and quality of results; analyzing and interpreting

results; reporting research findings at scientific conferences and industry symposiums; and

B-1. Statements, Information, and Reports

B-1.a. Candidate’s Statement of Teaching Philosophy

Since I have no teaching appointment and am stationed off campus, my teaching activities at The

University of Tennessee are in the following three areas: mentoring of undergraduate interns,

postdoctoral scientists, supporting staff, and graduate students; extension education of growers,

extension agents, private consultants, industry agronomists, and governmental agency

representatives; and guest lecturing of college students. I have supervised and trained 53

undergraduate interns, postdoctoral scientists, visiting scientists, research associates, and technicians

at The University of Tennessee and Oregon State University since July 2004. I always give them

plenty of time to learn. I have taught them the basic research principles, research techniques, skills

for field and laboratory work and utilization of research instruments and softwares, etc. More

importantly, I have cultivated their skills and abilities to define, analyze, and solve problems on

their own or as members of a team. Meanwhile, my postdoctoral scientists and student interns have

found appropriate jobs after training. I was the major adviser for three Ph.D. graduate students and

an M.S. graduate student during Aug. 2011 to Dec. 2017. I have been serving on the advisory

committees for another three graduate students. As the major professor, I strive to take the graduate

student's background, interests, and career goals into consideration as I design his education and

research program. Also, I will strive to place him in an appropriate position to be successful upon

graduation.

Since my research program is mainly applied research focusing on the problems and issues relating

to crop production in Tennessee, some of my time has been devoted to extension education to

deliver my research results to growers, extension agents, private consultants, industry agronomists,

and governmental agency representatives. Through my presentations at different extension events,

such as field days and commodity meetings, I have endeavored to deliver research-based practical

information to the participants that can be used to increase crop productivity, grower profitability,

and environmental sustainability. Meanwhile, I have also learned from the participants at the

extension education events about the problems limiting crop productivity and grower profitability in

Tennessee.

7

I was invited to deliver guest lectures to an undergraduate college class by Lambuth University, a

private institution located at Jackson, TN. When I was guest lecturing, I not only taught the students

the knowledge in the text books, but also took them to the West Tennessee Research and Education

Center for first-hand experiential learning about facilities, skills, and knowledge required for

agronomic research.

Based on my teaching experiences in China and over 10-year learning experiences as an

undergraduate, M.S. student, and Ph.D. student at different universities, I believe professors should

be mentors: respectful, encouraging, and available for advice and assistance. An effective teacher is

a guide, a resource, and an organizer. To be an outstanding teacher, one needs not only a solid

mastery of the subject, but also the appropriate teaching methodology, a comprehensive

understanding of one’s responsibilities to the students, the academic institution, the discipline, the

society, and the passion for teaching and students. My teaching goals have been to deliver current

knowledge to all the students in the class; and more importantly, to cultivate students' skills and

abilities to define, analyze, and solve problems on their own or as members of a team.

C-1. Statement of Research/Scholarship/Creative Achievement Approach

and/or Agenda

My research program has focused on systems agronomy including precision agriculture, nutrient

management, and sustainable cropping systems. My vision for research is to provide leadership in

applied research in agronomic cropping systems in TN, in the US and internationally where

applicable. My research goals have been to: (1) develop innovative knowledge, best management

practices, decision aids, and expert systems in systems agronomy that improve the profitability and

sustainability of agronomic crop production - while minimizing the adverse environmental impacts;

(2) develop high quality refereed and extension publications from research results; and (3) provide

information and technology to improve the skills and knowledge of farmers, crop consultants,

extension agents, industry agronomists, governmental agency personnel, and graduate students. My

research methodology has varied with the specific research project because methodologies should

always be appropriate to the research questions being addressed.

To be a successful faculty member in research, I have adopted the following strategies: (1)

frequently develop research proposals to address large and high profile problems in systems

agronomy in Tennessee and the U.S.; (2) consistently adopt an integrated approach by working

collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team of faculty (within the institution and across

institutions) and in close cooperation with producers, extension specialists and agents, crop

consultants, industry representatives, and governmental agency personnel; (3) aggressively search

for funding from federal and state government agencies, industries, and producers’ associations; (4)

strictly implement research contracts, and regularly report research progress and findings to the

18

funding agencies; (5) effectively and efficiently utilize research resources and facilities; (6) actively

participate in academic exchanges; (7) publish research results in high-quality refereed and

extension journals as early as possible; and (8) recruit, train, and place postdoctoral research

associates, student interns, and graduate students.

My research work at UT since 2008 has resulted in significant accomplishments. For instance, I

have secured $3,390,797 (including $1,357,860 of three USDA projects as the leading PI) for

research. I have authored 30 refereed journal articles. Twelve additional manuscripts have been

submitted to refereed journals. Additionally, I have collected enough data for another 14

manuscripts that will be completed and submitted to refereed journals during the coming year. I

have delivered 91 academic presentations at national and international conferences. Because

most of my research projects are applied research focusing on the problems and issues relating to

crop production, the results from my research program have great potential impacts on

stakeholders and other end-users in the agricultural sector in Tennessee and other states. I have

so far completed the following projects: Cotton yield and quality responses to sulfur application

rates and foliar zinc fertilization under no-tillage; optimizing K and P fertility levels for no-till

soybeans; physiological bases of using canopy Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)

and plant height sensing for variable-rate N applications to precisely manage in-field variations;

and precision nitrogen injection using integrated optical sensing and variable-rate technologies.

The cotton S and Zn project provides useful guidelines to growers about S and Zn applications.

The soybean K and P projects will ensure adequate K and P fertility for high-yielding soybean

production in TN by providing useful information to update UT fertilizer recommendations. The

results from plant height and canopy NDVI sensing project can be used to develop appropriate

algorithms for variable-rate N applications on cotton and corn in TN production environments,

which is the key for success in precision N management. The precision nitrogen injection project

provides tested variable-rate N application algorithms for cotton for higher yield or less N

fertilizer consumption or both in mid-South.

In addition, I have been conducting research on the following projects across the state at different

Research and Education Centers (Jackson, Milan, Ames, Springfield, Springhill, & Little River)

and in different counties (Gibson, Crockett, Lake, Lauderdale, Haywood, Madison, Tipton,

Fayette, etc.): Long-term impacts of cover crops, crop rotations, and conservation tillage systems

on soil health, nutrient cycling, soil water availability, and crop productivity; long-term effects of

biofertilizer and NPK briquettes on corn yield and quality, soil health, and the environment

compared with ammonium sulfate and recommended fertilizer practice; potential impacts of high

levels of corn residue return to soil using genetically modified C-capturing corn cultivars on soil

C sequestration, soil N supply and quality, and crop productivity; and responses of yields and

nutrient use efficiency of corn and cotton to fertilizer use efficiency enhancement products

(Micro-Essentials, Nutrisphere-N, NZone, Agrotain products, Avail-P, SoilBuilder AF, etc) and

responses of soybean and cotton to innovative seed treatment products. When these projects are

completed, the results of these projects can be used to assist producers in TN and other states to

enhance crop productivity, increase economic returns, and sustain the environment. Meanwhile,

the discoveries of these projects will add scientific knowledge in these areas.

I worked as an assistant professor at Oregon State University from July 2004 to January 2008

and as an associate professor, assistant professor, etc. in China from July 1988 to September

19

1997. I secured over $400,000 as research grants at Oregon State University and 1,500,000

Chinese dollars in China. I authored 30 refereed journal articles before I came to The University

of Tennessee in January 2008. I delivered 33 academic presentations at Oregon State University

and 20 academic presentations in China. My research at Oregon State University and in China

has not only greatly assisted producers to improve crop productivity, increase production

profitability, and protect the environment, but also made significant contributions to science.
