MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621022847 A) filed by Rajarambapu Institute Of Technology, Walwa, Maharashtra, on Feb. 26, for 'solar powered adaptive dual-mode fertigation and irrigation system with iot control.'
Inventor(s) include Prof. Juber M Mulla; Dr. Ramchandra G. Desawale; Dr. Prasad V. Shinde; Priti Mahajan; Ajinkya Sharma; Sayali Pawar; and Ajinkya Chavan.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention describes a solar-powered dual-mode fertigation and irrigation system designed for precision agricultural applications, particularly in off-grid and resource-constrained environments. The system enables selective operation in irrigation-only or combined fertigation modes and employs adaptive control to regulate water delivery and nutrient dosing based on real-time soil condition feedback and crop-specific requirements. Ion-selective monitoring provides continuous verification of nutrient concentration within the delivery stream, enabling closed-loop correction to maintain dosing accuracy. An automated reverse-flow self-cleaning function mitigates clogging caused by particulate or organic fertilizers, thereby enhancing operational reliability and reducing maintenance. Energy autonomy is achieved through photovoltaic power generation supplemented by a manual pedal or crank-based energy backup to ensure uninterrupted operation. Multi-zone distribution allows differentiated application across heterogeneous field conditions. Operational data is synchronized with a cloud-based analytics platform to support monitoring, alerts, and performance optimization. The system promotes efficient resource utilization, improved crop productivity, and sustainable agricultural practices through autonomous, data-driven operation."
