MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611112543 A) filed by Baba Farid College Of Engineering And Technology; and Baba Farid College on September 19, 2026, for A Mechanically Integrated Crop Counting And Seed Recommendation System.
Inventors include Dr. Manpreet Singh; Sehmanpreet Singh; Harmandeep Singh; and Manveer Singh.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: Disclosed is a mechanically integrated crop counting and seed recommendation system (100) comprising a support frame (102), a ground-contacting measuring wheel (104), a distance-measuring transmission (106), a plant-contact feeler (108), a return member (110), a plant-counting assembly (112), and an analog plant counter (114). The system further comprises a crop-selection dial (116), a target-setting member (118), a row-spacing slider (120), a mechanical calculation assembly (122), a mechanical comparator (124), a population-status indicator (126), and a seed-recommendation assembly (128). Successive plant contacts increment the analog plant counter (114), while wheel rotation provides a travelled-distance input. The mechanical calculation assembly (122) provides an actual plant-population output for comparison with a crop-specific target population. The seed-recommendation assembly (128) generates and indicates a seed-requirement value based on a crop-specific seed-rate parameter, row spacing, and actual plant population without requiring electrical power, electronic sensing, a battery, a microcontroller or digital computation. FIG. 1 is the reference figure.
