MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611025796 A) filed by Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on March 5, for 'method and system for iot-based precision agricultural monitoring and adaptive irrigation control.'
Inventor(s) include Rajesh Parihar; Ritu Sharma; Kunver Arif Ali; Amit Kumar; and Sandeep Kumar.
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: "The present disclosure relates to a system and method for IoT-based agricultural monitoring and adaptive irrigation control using an energy-efficient wireless sensor network (WSN). The system comprises a plurality of distributed smart sensor nodes deployed across predefined agricultural micro-zones, each configured to monitor soil moisture, nutrient conductivity, and environmental parameters. The sensor nodes communicate through a self-organizing, energy-adaptive wireless mesh network to an edge gateway. A predictive modeling engine computes a Dynamic Soil Stress Index (DSSI) based on multi-variable inputs including soil moisture gradient, evapotranspiration rate, crop growth stage coefficient, soil thermal inertia, and nutrient variation. The system further estimates projected root-zone water depletion over a predefined prediction horizon and assigns stress severity levels. Based on the computed severity, a zonal irrigation control module automatically actuates irrigation and fertigation devices prior to physiological crop stress occurrence."
