MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611007672 A) filed by Dr. Monika Yadav; and Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Mahendragarh, Haryana, on Jan. 27, for 'smart controlled-release zno/cuo nanoparticle delivery system for okra plant.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Monika Yadav; and Dr. Rajesh Kumar.
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: "A smart controlled-release nanoparticle delivery system for okra plants is disclosed. The system comprises zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles encapsulated, entrapped, or embedded within a release-controlling matrix configured to regulate the release of zinc and copper over an extended period. The matrix comprises biodegradable polymers, biopolymers, natural gums, polysaccharides, protein-based carriers, or combinations thereof, enabling delayed and sustained micronutrient availability. A method for preparing the delivery system includes incorporating the ZnO and CuO nanoparticles into the release-controlling matrix through encapsulation, coating, entrapment, or matrix embedding to form a stabilized formulation capable of gradual release. The system improves micronutrient use efficiency and supports healthy growth of okra plants while reducing nutrient loss associated with conventional fertilizer applications."
