MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611052580 A) filed by Indian Council Of Agricultural Research, New Delhi, on April 24, for 'system and method for assessment of land suitability for crop cultivation.'
Inventor(s) include Kamireddy, Manorama; Kancherla, Suresh; and Behera, Sanjib Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A system (100) and method (200) for assessment of land suitability for crop cultivation, such as for oil palm cultivation. The system (100) integrates spatially explicit soil parameters, climatic parameters, topographic parameters, and water availability parameters with a systematic scoring methodology via a mobile application. The system (100) identifies location-specific constraints from environmental data to assess land potential. Upon receiving the parameters, a processor (102) assigns field-validated weights to each parameter and generates a standardized composite suitability index. Based on the suitability index and environmental conditions, the processor (102) independently classifies the target land under both irrigated and rainfed scenarios, assigning a suitability grade ranging from highly suitable to unsuitable. The system (100) enhances resource allocation and sustainable plantation expansion by providing real-time, location-specific agricultural intelligence and actionable advisory outputs without reliance on advanced geographic information system (GIS) expertise."
