MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611052656 A) filed by Dr Anchal Singh; Dr Vijay Kumar; Dr. Anjali Tomar; Dr. Ankit Gill; Dr. Vikas Tomar; Dr. Ragini Kumari; Amanpreet Singh Sran; and Dr. Ritu, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, on April 24, for 'ai-powered precision irrigation system with real-time soil moisture analysis and predictive water optimization.'

Inventor(s) include Dr Anchal Singh; Dr Vijay Kumar; Dr. Anjali Tomar; Dr. Ankit Gill; Dr. Vikas Tomar; Dr. Ragini Kumari; Amanpreet Singh Sran; and Dr. Ritu.

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 the technical field of agricultural automation and discloses a hardware-integrated precision irrigation system (100) comprising a distributed multi-depth soil moisture sensor array (101), an edge computing gateway (102) with a dedicated neural processing unit (103), a predictive water optimization module (104) executed on non-transitory memory (105), a solenoid-actuated flow control manifold (106) with piezoelectric flow sensors (107), and a low-power wireless communication interface (108). The technical problem of excessive water consumption and spatially non-uniform soil hydration in conventional irrigation is addressed by a hardware-accelerated temporal convolutional inference engine (109) that fuses real-time multi-depth dielectric readings with micro-climatic data (110) to compute zone-specific irrigation schedules. The system achieves water savings of approximately 42 percent, reduces actuation latency below 120 milliseconds and improves soil moisture homogeneity across root zones. Industrial application extends to precision agriculture, horticulture, landscape management and greenhouse farming (111)."
