MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007271 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 24, for 'artificial intelligence (ai)-enabled smart fertilizer control system and method for adaptive nutrient delivery in soil.'
Inventor(s) include Devi. K; Benila. S; and Balraj. E.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to an artificial-intelligence-enabled fertilizer control system. The system (100) includes processor (202) and memory (204) communicatively coupled to processor (202) and storing executable instructions. Upon execution, processor (202) receives soil parameter data indicative of soil moisture, soil pH, soil temperature, and nutrient concentration, and compares received soil parameter data with predetermined crop-specific nutrient reference profiles or nutrient threshold values stored in memory (204). Based on comparison, processor (202) determines nutrient release profile defining nutrient type, nutrient release rate, and nutrient release timing required to meet crop nutrient demand. The processor (202) generates control signals to actuate a nutrient release mechanism (114) for regulating nutrient diffusion into surrounding soil and iteratively updates the nutrient release profile in a closed-loop manner using subsequently received soil parameter data and historical nutrient response data. The system (100) thereby enables autonomous and adaptive nutrient regulation responsive to real-time soil conditions."
