The application for the patent was published on Oct. 31, under issue no. 44/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a novel composition and method for the preparation of value-added Sal Cake and its application as organic manure for enhancing crop yield and soil health. Further, a method for enhancing the manurial value of Sal cake, a byproduct of Sal seed oil extraction, by a simple and cost-effective process. The method involves soaking Sal cake in a solution containing rock phosphate, urea, and kitchen wastewater, followed by mixing with organic manures and composting with microbial inoculation. The resulting value-added Sal cake exhibits increased nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content, reduced tannin content, and improved efficacy as an organic fertilizer. Field experiments demonstrate the efficacy of value-added Sal cake in enhancing crop yield and soil fertility, particularly when integrated with other organic or inorganic fertilizers."
