MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611050140 A) filed by Dr Akshita Bisht Pradeep Kumar Chandra; Dr. A. Nirmala; Habiba Begum; Dr Raveena; Aneja Nair M; Dr Deepak Kumar; and Dr. Anu, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, on April 20, for 'a system and method for ai-controlled variable rate precision fertigation in protected cultivation environments..'
Inventor(s) include Dr Akshita Bisht; Pradeep Kumar Chandra; Dr. A. Nirmala; Habiba Begum; Dr Raveena; Aneja Nair M; Dr Deepak Kumar; and Dr. Anu.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a precision fertigation system (100) for protected cultivation, comprising a multi-sensor array (101) including soil moisture sensors, electrical conductivity sensors, pH sensors and canopy imaging sensors, a hardware edge processor (102) with dedicated neural processing unit, a memory module (103) storing crop-specific growth models, a variable rate dosing manifold (104) with solenoid-actuated micro-injectors, a hydraulic mixing chamber (105), a communication interface (106), and an actuator control unit (107). The system addresses inefficient nutrient delivery in greenhouses by executing a hardware-accelerated machine learning inference pipeline that dynamically computes zone-specific nutrient formulations from real-time sensor telemetry. Technical effects include reduced fertilizer consumption by up to thirty-five percent, improved water use efficiency by forty percent, and enhanced crop yield by twenty-two percent. The invention finds industrial application in greenhouse horticulture, vertical farming, polyhouse cultivation, and commercial hydroponic facilities across agricultural industries."
