Biswanath Dari is an Assistant Professor at Oregon State University’s Klamath Basin Research and Extension Center, specializing in sustainable agriculture, soil biogeochemistry, and nutrient cycling. His research focuses on optimizing soil health through biochar, manure, and alternative fertilizer applications while mitigating environmental impacts like phosphorus runoff and ammonia volatilization. He is affiliated with the Department of Crop and Soil Science at Oregon State University.
Dr. Dari holds a Ph.D. in Soil and Water Science from the University of Florida (2015), an M.Sc. in Agricultural Meteorology from Punjab Agricultural University (2010), and a B.Sc. in Agriculture from Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (2008). His academic work has been recognized by prestigious awards such as the A S Herlong Sr. Fellowship and multiple Best Poster/Oral Presentation accolades at national conferences.
His recent publications analyze global soil phosphorus dynamics, biochar’s role in nutrient retention, and precision agriculture’s impact on smallholder systems. Key trends include interdisciplinary studies on carbon sequestration, climate-smart farming, and digital soil monitoring. He actively contributes to peer-review services as an Associate Editor for Agronomy Journal and promotes outreach through extension seminars on ammonia volatilization management and soil testing procedures.
Notable scientific awards include the Environmental Quality Outstanding Graduate Student Award (2013), Best Poster Award (Biochar Community) (2014), and the Graduate School Grinter Fellowship (2011–2014). His leadership roles span Chair of the Biochar Community (2020), Vice-Chair (2019), and Judging competitions in agronomy and soil science.
Dr. Dari also mentors students, volunteers in science fairs, and collaborates on projects like Phosphorus Saturation Ratio Threshold modeling and biochar’s influence on soil fertility. His extension work emphasizes fertilizer best practices and residue management in Idaho’s cereal crops.
