Prashasti Agarwal, Ph.D.

Prashasti Agarwal is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Soil Health & Nutrient Management at the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. Her research examines how management decisions such as cover crops, tillage, irrigation, rotations, and nutrient management, shape soil health, carbon and nitrogen cycling, and long-term productivity in row-crop systems. She works at the intersection of field agronomy, soil biology, and data analysis, with a particular focus on soil microbial ecology, biological indicators of soil health, and translating soil health frameworks into decisions producers can actually use in-season.
