MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631020658 A) filed by Jis College Of Engineering, Kalyani, West Bengal, on Feb. 22, for '"plant growth in hydroponics".'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Nabanita Sarkar; Dr. Uddipta Ghosh; Mr. Archishman Ghosh; Ms. Maitri Sarkar; Mr. Sayan Maiti; and Ms. Shrestha Dey.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an automated hydroponic plant growth system for cultivating plants in a soilless environment with optimized resource utilization and environmental control. The system comprises a plant-holding unit, a nutrient solution reservoir, and a recirculating pump configured to deliver nutrient-rich aqueous solution directly to plant roots in a closed-loop manner. A sensor array continuously monitors key growth parameters including pH, electrical conductivity, temperature, humidity, light intensity, and water level. The sensed data is processed by a control unit configured to automatically regulate nutrient dosing, solution circulation, and artificial lighting to maintain optimal plant growth conditions. The system further includes programmable LED grow lights, optional wireless communication for remote monitoring and control through a mobile or web-based interface, and a modular scalable structure suitable for residential, commercial, and vertical farming applications. Optional battery or solar backup power ensures uninterrupted operation. The invention enables year-round cultivation with reduced water and nutrient consumption, minimized manual intervention, and improved crop yield and quality."
