MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641043503 A) filed by Kkr & Ksr Institute Of Technology And Sciences, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, on April 6, for 'eco-friendly solar-powered pest detection and organic pesticide application system.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. B. Bhanu Prakash; Rathamsetty Kowsalya; Shaik Manisha; Ravuri Neelima; and Rayapati Nithyasri Sowmya.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The use of chemical pesticides can harm the environment, soil, and human health. To solve this problem, this project proposes an organic pest control system that uses solar power and smart sensors. The system is powered by solar energy, which makes it cost-effective and suitable for use in farms, especially in rural areas. Sensors are used to detect pests or changes in crop conditions. When pests are detected, the system automatically activates an air-assisted spraying unit to spray organic pesticides evenly on the crops. The air assistance helps spread the spray properly and reduces wastage. Because the system works automatically, it reduces unnecessary spraying and saves organic solution. Using solar energy also reduces electricity costs and pollution. This system helps farmers protect crops in an eco-friendly and efficient way and supports sustainable agriculture."
