MUMBAI, India, Sept. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411012657 A) filed by Dronacharya Group Of Institutions, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on Feb. 22, 2024, for 'economical and intelligent micro-irrigation control systems using real-time data.'
Inventor(s) include Mohd Afroz; Sanskar Maurya; Dr. Shailesh Kumar Singh; and Dr. Deepak Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 12, under issue no. 37/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "There is always a challenge to supply the proper amount of water to the field. Traditional irrigation methods have resulted in crop losses due to irregular water supply, emphasising the need for innovative solutions. This current project introduces an intelligent microirrigation system utilising IoT and artificial intelligence (AI) to supply water to the crops automatically. In this, real-time data of the soil condition analysis is made accessible via a smartphone connected to the internet. The real-time data are collected through sensors associated with the irrigation system. A primary focus of the project is on enhancing water use efficiency by employing AI to evaluate soil data (such as pH and moisture). This approach minimises water waste and ensures that the required water is delivered to the crops. The real-time monitoring and control system, facilitated by AI, enables farmers to examine and adjust irrigation activity, weather conditions, and soil moisture levels remotely. This project is like a big step in changing how farmers usually do their farming. It brings in advanced new technology, is good for the environment and makes economic sense. The goal is to help Indian farmers and care for the environment."
