MUMBAI, India, Dec. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511102820 A) filed by Iqra Zainab; Mr. Suman Patra; Priyanka Rajan; Dr Vishwas Deep; Dr. Abhinav Kumar; Dr. Sagar; Dr Himadri Shekhar Datta; and Rita Godfrey Fredericks, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on Oct. 24, for 'bioelectronic root monitoring system for automated plant stress and nutrient regulation.'
Inventor(s) include Iqra Zainab; Mr. Suman Patra; Priyanka Rajan; Dr Vishwas Deep; Dr. Abhinav Kumar; Dr. Sagar; Dr Himadri Shekhar Datta; and Rita Godfrey Fredericks.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a bioelectronic root monitoring system for automated detection of plant stress conditions and regulation of nutrient delivery in real time. The system comprises bioelectronic sensors implanted directly into plant root zones that continuously monitor electrophysiological signals, ion concentrations, and biomarkers indicative of plant health status. The sensor array integrates organic electrochemical transistors with ion selective electrodes to detect multiple parameters including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium levels, soil moisture, pH, and stress induced biochemical markers. Data acquired from the sensors is processed through machine learning algorithms to identify stress patterns and nutrient deficiencies. Based on the analysis, the system automatically triggers precision delivery of required nutrients through an integrated fertigation module. This closed loop system enables early detection of abiotic stress conditions before visible symptoms appear, optimizes resource utilization, reduces manual intervention, and enhances crop productivity through targeted interventions at the individual plant level."
