MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641050143 A) filed by Srinivasa Ramanujan Institute Of Technology; Mr. M. Rami Reddy; P Rama Mohan; L Shireesha; and N Chandrakala, Ananthapuramu, Andhra Pradesh, on April 20, for 'iot controlled smart agriculture system with rain shelter and leaf disease detection.'
Inventor(s) include Srinivasa Ramanujan Institute Technology; Mr. M. Rami Reddy; P Rama Mohan; L Shireesha; and N Chandrakala.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An automated system and method for smart agriculture using Internet of Things (IoT) and image processing techniques is disclosed. The invention integrates environmental monitoring, irrigation control, crop protection, and plant disease detection into a unified platform. In the proposed system, sensor data including soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and rainfall are continuously acquired and processed for real-time decision-making. Based on soil moisture conditions, irrigation is automatically controlled to ensure optimal water usage. A rain detection mechanism activates an automated shelter system to protect crops from excessive rainfall. In addition, plant leaf images are captured and analyzed using image processing techniques to detect diseases based on visual characteristics such as discoloration and texture variation. The system further provides real-time monitoring through an IoT platform, enabling remote access and control. The proposed invention improves agricultural productivity, reduces manual effort, and ensures efficient utilization of resources, thereby offering a reliable and cost-effective solution for modern farming applications."
