MUMBAI, India, Aug. 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511010285 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on February 07, 2025, for Novel Formulation And Mechanism For Mitigating Heavy Metal Toxicity In Crops.
Inventors include Prasann Kumar; Onkar Hirwe; Manisha Sharma; and Polu Picheswara Rao.
The application for the patent was published on August 21, 2026, under issue no. 34/2026.
Abstract: The invention provides a novel formulation for mitigating heavy metal toxicity in crops, using biodegradable chelating agents, pH stabilizers, and bioenhancers. The chelating agents bind to heavy metals like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury, forming stable complexes that reduce their bioavailability in the soil. pH stabilizers optimize soil conditions to enhance chelation and minimize metal absorption, while bioenhancers promote the selective uptake of essential nutrients by plant roots, blocking metal absorption. This formulation improves crop resilience, yield, and food safety by reducing heavy metal uptake, making it suitable for contaminated soils. The technology is eco-friendly, cost-effective, and adaptable to various crops and soil types, supporting sustainable agriculture and safer food production.
