MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511113785 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Nov. 19, 2025, for 'insect detection and precision pesticide application system.'
Inventor(s) include Akash Kumar; Aditya Kumar Jha; and Dr. Banita Mandal.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an artificial intelligence-based insect detection and precision pesticide application system for sustainable pest management in agriculture. The system is mounted on a mobile platform such as a boom sprayer, autonomous ground rover or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It utilizes high-speed imaging and edge-based computer vision algorithms to detect and classify insect species directly on plant surfaces in real time. Upon positive identification of a pest, a closed-loop micro-spray actuator dispenses an ultra-low-volume insecticide droplet precisely at the detected insect location, thereby eliminating blanket spraying and minimizing chemical drift. Each detection and actuation event is geotagged and time-stamped, with classification data transmitted to a cloud-based analytics platform that generates pest-pressure maps and predictive infestation models. The invention provides an integrated, data-driven and environmentally responsible pest-control system that reduces chemical usage, lowers operational costs and enhances precision agriculture practices."
