Arun Dilipkumar Jani

Arun Dilipkumar Jani is currently an Assistant Professor of Crop Management in the Biology and Chemistry department at California State University, Monterey Bay, a position he has held since August 17, 2022. His academic work focuses on developing sustainable agricultural systems that balance productivity with environmental stewardship across diverse geographical contexts.

Dr. Jani's primary research interests center on developing crop and soil management practices that meet agronomic goals while minimizing negative environmental impacts. His work spans multiple critical areas:

• Nitrogen management and cycling in agricultural systems, particularly examining legume residues
• Utilization of alternative soil amendments including biochar and composted sewage sludge
• Sustainable crop production systems for diverse crops including peanuts, maize, soybeans, and tomatoes
• Soil health improvement through microbial inoculation and residue management
• Development of cost-effective solutions for farmers in various climatic regions

Analysis of Dr. Jani's publication record (2020-2024) reveals a consistent research trajectory focused on sustainable agricultural practices with particular emphasis on nutrient cycling, soil fertility management, and developing practical solutions for farmers. His work spans multiple continents including the USA, Brazil, and Southern Africa, demonstrating both global relevance and adaptability of his research findings. Key methodological approaches include field trials examining soil-plant interactions, nutrient analysis, and evaluation of alternative soil amendments.

Dr. Jani actively contributes to the scholarly community through peer review activities, having reviewed manuscripts for journals including 'Nutrient cycling in agroecosystems' and 'PloS one.' His collaborative research approach is evident in his extensive co-authorship network across multiple institutions and countries.
