Amit K. Jaiswal studies how plants defend themselves against soil- and root-borne pathogens, with a strong focus on biochar (a charcoal-like soil amendment made from organic material) as a tool to suppress plant diseases and promote growth. Their work combines soil microbiology, plant pathology, and molecular biology to understand mechanisms like induced disease resistance, microbiome changes, and pathogen suppression in crops such as tomato, cucumber, and peanut.

Publication output was moderate and variable from 2017-2020 but has slowed considerably in recent years, with sparse or no output in several years since 2021.
