Inventor(s) include Rajesh Mor; Hardeep; Santosh Kumari; Sonu Kumar; Virender; Dr. Amit Kumar; Aditya; Pradeep Kumar; Naveen Kumar; and Yugvinder.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an automated canopy health monitoring and precision pruning system for orchard crops. The system integrates imaging sensors, environmental sensors, and intelligent data analytics to assess canopy density, leaf health, and growth conditions in real time. Based on the analyzed data, the system identifies unhealthy or overcrowded branches and generates precision pruning decisions. Automated pruning mechanisms execute targeted cuts, improving sunlight penetration, airflow, and nutrient distribution within the canopy. The invention reduces manual labor, minimizes pruning errors, and enhances fruit quality and yield consistency. Historical data storage and adaptive learning enable continuous improvement of pruning strategies across seasons. The system supports sustainable orchard management by optimizing plant health while reducing operational costs and environmental impact."
