MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611008193 A) filed by Dr. Monika Yadav; and Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Mahendragarh, Haryana, on Jan. 28, for 'zno/cuo nanoparticle-embedded soil amendment for sustained nutrition and disease management in okra crop.'
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: "The invention relates to a soil amendment composition for okra crops comprising zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles. The composition is configured to provide essential micronutrient support and to mitigate soil-borne and foliar diseases affecting okra plants. The composition may further include plant growth-promoting agents such as organic fertilizers, humic substances, or beneficial microbes. The soil amendment can be applied directly to soil, mixed with irrigation water, or applied as a foliar spray. The composition is prepared by uniformly blending the ZnO and CuO nanoparticles with soil amendment carrier materials without employing encapsulation or controlled-release mechanisms. The invention offers an effective and environmentally compatible approach for improving plant health, disease resistance, and crop productivity in okra cultivation."
