Katie Lewis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences at Texas A&M University's College of Agriculture & Life Sciences. She leads a nationally recognized Soil Chemistry and Fertility Program focused on sustainable agricultural practices, precision nutrient management, and soil microbiome dynamics. Her work emphasizes regenerative agriculture strategies to enhance soil health and optimize crop yields in semi-arid regions.
Dr. Lewis holds a Ph.D. in Soil Science from Texas A&M University (2014). Her research integrates field studies, microbial analysis, and advanced soil chemistry techniques to address challenges in cotton production systems, including nitrogen management, cover cropping, and drought resilience.
Her research interests span soil fertility, microbiome response to conservation practices, and the interplay between agricultural systems and climate change. Recent work highlights innovations in cover crop timing, potassium sorption mechanisms, and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions through precision agriculture.
Advising four graduate students, she prioritizes hands-on training in experimental design and field research. Her program collaborates with Texas A&M AgriLife Research and the Texas Soil Lab (txsoillab.com), advancing practical solutions for sustainable farming in arid environments.
