MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511113441 A) filed by UPES, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Nov. 18, 2025, for 'a system and method for ai/ml-based integrated water management and disease prevention in paddy cultivation.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Nadeem Yousuf Khanday; and Harvijay Singh.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A sensor network (101) comprising soil moisture, temperature, humidity, pH, and rain sensors arranged in clusters per a unit disc graph model is used to monitor a critical paddy cultivation zone during a 45-day post-transplantation period. The system integrates a microcontroller-based data acquisition unit (201) performing analog-to-digital conversion and fault detection with custom firmware, a wireless communication module (301) employing WiFi, LoRaWAN, and 4G for error-checked data transmission over distances up to 1 km, and an AI processing module featuring a CNN-based disease detection unit and a machine learning-driven irrigation optimization engine. A centralized decision support module fuses the outputs to control an actuation module (503) comprising smart valves and water pumps, thereby enabling precise integrated water management and disease prevention."
