MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048661 A) filed by Dayananda Sagar University, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on April 16, for 'ai-driven adaptive microbial consortium with intelligent encapsulation for enhancing crop resilience under drought and heat stress.'

Inventor(s) include Sumant Kumar Mohapatra; Biswa Mohan Sahoo; Jayavrinda V Vadakkeparambil; Govind Kumar Pandey; and Silky Sharma.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "AI-Driven Adaptive Microbial Consortium with Intelligent Encapsulation for Enhancing Crop Resilience Under Drought and Heat Stress The present invention provides AgroSyn-X, an AI-driven climate-responsive agricultural system for enhancing crop resilience under drought and heat stress. The system dynamically designs and optimizes a climate-resilient microbial consortium comprising drought-tolerant, nitrogen-fixing, phosphate-solubilizing and stress-mitigating strains. It encapsulates the consortium in an intelligent biodegradable matrix that provides controlled, environment-triggered release based on real-time soil moisture and temperature thresholds. A multi-layer artificial intelligence optimization engine analyses soil parameters, climate data and crop response to dynamically adjust microbial ratios and encapsulation profiles. The system creates a unified soil-microbe-plant digital twin model for accurate prediction of stress resilience and yield outcomes. An explainable artificial intelligence framework generates transparent recommendations with soil parameter importance ranking and microbial contribution scoring. The platform continuously learns from field performance through reinforcement learning and delivers location-specific, season-specific microbial solutions without requiring expensive hardware, making it highly suitable for small and marginal farmers using ordinary smartphones."
