MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511006412 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on January 27, 2025, for A Novel Soluble Clove Oil (eugenol) Elicitor Molecule For Inducing Systemic Resistance Against Carrot Diseases.
Inventors include Archana T S; Devendra Kumar; Pranay; and Richard Singh Hijam.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a novel soluble eugenol-based elicitor designed to enhance systemic resistance in carrots, providing protection against a wide range of fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens. Eugenol, a natural compound from clove oil, triggers systemic acquired resistance (SAR) pathways in plants, activating immune responses such as the production of reactive oxygen species, antimicrobial peptides, and pathogenesis-related proteins. The formulation is optimized for easy application as a foliar spray or soil drench, ensuring effective distribution and long-lasting protection. This eco-friendly solution offers a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides, reducing environmental impact and supporting organic farming practices. It improves crop health, yield, and quality while promoting integrated pest management (IPM) and minimizing pesticide reliance. FIG. 1
