MUMBAI, India, Aug. 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541085683 A) filed by Vertex Enterprises on September 09, 2025, for A Versatile Design Matrix Of A Compostable Container For Sustainable Plant Propagation.

Inventor includes Dr Gannavarapu Srinivasa Raju.

The application for the patent was published on August 21, 2026, under issue no. 34/2026.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a multi-layer compostable container designed to replace plastic nursery bags in agriculture, horticulture, and forestry. The container features a three-layer structure to balance durability and decomposition. An outer layer (L-1) provides mechanical strength for handling. A middle layer (L-2) contains nutrients that are slowly released into the soil after planting. A rapidly degrading inner layer (L-3) allows plant roots to grow freely, preventing transplant shock. The container is designed to be durable during handling and then decompose after planting.
