MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621023012 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Feb. 26, for 'system and method for weather-based pest outbreak alert generation in agricultural environments.'

Inventor(s) include Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Prof. Madhavi S. Bhanwar; Pradhumn Bairagi; and Shrasti Bathri.

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: "A system (100) for weather-based pest outbreak alert generation in agricultural environments includes a solar photovoltaic panel (102), a rechargeable battery (104) electrically coupled to the solar photovoltaic panel (102) and a hardware processor (106). The hardware processor (106) receives measurement data at periodic intervals from a temperature sensor (108), a humidity sensor (110), and a rain gauge (112) and compares the received measurement data against predetermined threshold conditions representing environmental parameter combinations conducive to pest outbreak. The hardware processor (106) determines a pest outbreak risk score based on duration and magnitude by which the received measurement data exceeds the predetermined threshold conditions. The hardware processor (106) generates an alert signal when the pest outbreak risk score exceeds a predetermined alert threshold and transmits the alert signal through a first communication protocol, and activates a second communication protocol when transmission through the first communication protocol fails."
