Mosali joined the Noble Foundation as a postdoctoral fellow in the Agricultural Division in April 2004. Currently, he is responsible for the variable rate application of nitrogen fertilizer in bermudagrass, rye and ryegrass. His pioneering efforts in the development of Nitrogen Fertilization Optimization Algorithm (NFOA) using active sensors will revolutionize the way pastures are fertilized in the future. His responsibilities also include monitoring variable rate application field experiments on Noble research properties and farmers' fields, data collection, statistical analysis and agronomic interpretation/application of results.

His research interests during his graduate study included nitrogen use efficiency in bermudagrass and foliar application of phosphorus in wheat.

Mosali was born and brought up in south-central India.
