Inventor(s) include Dr. K. Balamurugan; Dr. R. Kesavan; Dr. M. Amanullah; Dr. J. Velmurugan; Dr. G. Charlyn Pushpa Latha; Dr. A. Jegatheesan; and Dr. Anitha Govindaram.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Tamil Nadu faces acute agricultural challenges-water scarcity, monsoon variability, soil degradation, and increasing vulnerability to climate change. Precision agriculture (PA) and regenerative agriculture (RA) offer pathways toward improved productivity and sustainability, but their success depends on timely and accurate sustainability assessment. This paper presents an AI-powered sustainability metrics framework designed specifically for Tamil Nadu's agro-ecological conditions. Using machine learning, remote sensing, and in-field sensor data, the framework evaluates soil health, water efficiency, carbon dynamics, biodiversity indicators, and socio-economic variables across major farming districts. The study integrates datasets from Coimbatore, Thanjavur, Dindigul, Erode, and Tirunelveli to demonstrate the capacity of AI-based models to predict crop stress, optimize irrigation, assess organic carbon levels, and quantify improvements delivered by regenerative practices. Results show that AI-supported decision systems increase water-use efficiency by 22-30%, reduce chemical fertilizer use by 18-26%, and improve soil organic matter by 8-14%. The study highlights policy pathways for Tamil Nadu to transition toward digitally enabled sustainable agriculture."
