MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631050626 A) filed by Jis College Of Engineering, Nadia, West Bengal, on April 21, for 'ai-driven root zone climate pods for precision agriculture.'
Inventor(s) include Debojit Dutta; Pragya Das; Debanjan Choubey; Dr. Sayan Chakraborty; Dr. Monish Mukul Das; and Subhadip Goswami.
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: "An AI-driven precision agriculture system is disclosed, comprising a plurality of subterranean sensor pods configured for the real-time monitoring of root zone parameters including O_{2}, CO_{2}, temperature, pH, and moisture. The system utilizes an ensemble machine learning architecture to predict crop stress events 6-24 hours before they become visible, enabling proactive autonomous intervention. Integrated response mechanisms, such as micro-irrigation, nutrient delivery, and mechanical soil aeration, are automatically triggered based on AI-derived predictive analytics. The pods utilize LoRaWAN communication and are solar-powered for long-term deployment. The invention optimizes resource efficiency by reducing water and fertilizer waste while significantly enhancing crop yields through precise rhizosphere management."
