MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611057959 A) filed by Panipat Institute Of Engineering And Technology Piet on May 07, 2026, for A Method And System For Computing A Soil Health Index Using Historical Crop, Fertilizer, Soil, And Climate Data.
Inventor includes Prof. Dr. Poonam Panwar.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: [042] The present invention relates to a method and system for computing a soil health index using historical crop, fertilizer, soil, and climate data. The invention acquires historical agricultural records from farm logs, soil test reports, weather sources, and sensor-based inputs, and stores the data in a structured database linked to land parcels and crop seasons. The data is preprocessed through cleaning, normalization, and transformation, after which soil-relevant indicators such as crop diversity, nutrient balance, fertilizer efficiency, organic matter trend, moisture variation, and climate stress are derived. A soil health scoring engine applies weighted computation, statistical analysis, machine learning, or a combination thereof to generate a composite soil health index representing soil fertility and sustainability over multiple crop cycles. The system further provides dashboard-based visualization, degradation trend monitoring, and actionable recommendations relating to fertilizer optimization, crop rotation, and soil conservation. The invention enables continuous and data-driven soil assessment while reducing dependence on frequent manual soil testing. Accompanied Drawing [FIGS. 1-3]
