MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621030058 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on March 12, for 'apparatus and method for precision irrigation control with integrated environmental monitoring.'

Inventor(s) include Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Dr. Sachin Patel; Lokesh Vishwakarma; and Himanshu Tiwari.

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 apparatus (102) for precision irrigation control comprises a platinum resistance thermometer (104), capacitive humidity sensor (106), silicon pyranometer (108), soil moisture sensors (110), irrigation valve actuators (112), and hardware processor (114). The hardware processor (114) receives environmental measurements from the sensors and determines reference evapotranspiration values using measured input parameters. The hardware processor (114) determines spatial soil moisture distribution from the soil moisture sensors (110) and computes coefficient of variation values for zone subdivision recommendations. The hardware processor (114) generates irrigation control signals based on evapotranspiration values and spatial moisture distribution, then communicates control signals to irrigation valve actuators (112) for zone-specific precision irrigation with proportional water delivery across heterogeneous field conditions."
