MUMBAI, India, Sept. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421016167 A) filed by Tata Consultancy Services Limited, Maharashtra, on March 7, 2024, for 'method and system for real-time estimation of soil organic-carbon with multimodal sensing of crop fields.'
Inventor(s) include Kulat, Rushikesh Dattatraya; Sarangi, Sanat; Sakkan, Mariappan; Pappula, Srinivasu; and Jain, Prachin Lalit.
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: "This disclosure relates generally to method and system for real time estimation of soil organic-carbon with multimodal sensing of crop fields. Estimating soil organic carbon is affected by various factors on the farm with available nutrients in the soil and agricultural management practices followed by farmers. Existing soil testing methods are time consuming and complex. The method initially computes a soil nitrogen level of the target crop field based on geo-spatial profile of neighboring crop field. Here, a plurality of features comprising a tillage, one or more crop remnants, and a crop maturity stage from the plurality of digital images are identified to determine at least one of a carbon-nitrogen relationship segment comprising a C-N segment 1, a C-N segment 2 and a C-N segment 3 of the target crop field. Based on the C-N segment, an organic carbon level of the target crop field is estimated."
