Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for 'An Adaptive Irrigation Control System Based On Crop Growth Stage Identification And Localized Weather Prediction' Filed by Dr. Mahalingam College Of Engineering And Technology

MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133563 A) filed by Dr. Mahalingam College Of Engineering And Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'an adaptive irrigation control system based on crop growth stage identification and localized weather prediction.'

Inventor(s) include Chairman M; Vignesh M; and Bhuvaneshwari V.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Due to erratic weather. patterns and fluctuating water needs at different phases of crop growth, effective irrigation management has emerged as a significant concern in agriculture. The current invention describes an adaptive irrigation control system that uses localized weather forecast and crop development stage identification to regulate water delivery. The system continuously monitors temperature, humidity, leaf wetness, soil moisture, and rainfall indicators in the agricultural field using a network of sensors. The crop's present growth stage is ascertained by analyzing the gathered sensor data, and watering thresholds are dynamically modified as the crop grows. Additionally, the system can predict rainfall and evapotranspiration conditions by leveraging locally observable environmental patterns to predict short-term weather behavior. Using controlled actuators, irrigation is automatically started, delayea, or adjusted based on this integrated data. Remote monitoring and supervision are made possible by the system's operation within an loT framework. The suggested invention increases water efficiency, lessens crop stress, and promotes sustainable agric4lture practices by adjusting irrigation decisions to crop development and field-level weather circumstances.
