MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511102989 A) filed by Pooja; and Dr. Abhishek Kumar, Hisar, Haryana, on Oct. 25, 2025, for 'plant-derived nanovesicular biofungicide and process thereof for control of phytopathogenic fungi.'
Inventor(s) include Pooja; Dr. Sultan Singh; Dr. Abhishek Kumar; Dr. Sonu Langaya; Dr. Mohit Kamboj; Shabnam; Dilbagh; and Manpreet Singh.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a plant-derived nanovesicular biofungicide composition for sustainable control of phytopathogenic fungi. It focuses on the effectiveness and environmental friendliness of traditional chemical fungicide alternatives. These methodologies include isolating nanovesicles from medicinal plants and encapsulating them within a chitosan-alginate biopolymer matrix, then synthesizing a stable lyophilized biofungicide powder. The composition functions through two mechanisms at once, including small RNA-mediated silencing of fungal virulence genes and the disruption of fungal cell membranes phytochemically. Such methods are scalable and deliver the agricultural chemical fungicide alternative residue-free and eco-friendly."
