MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611024952 A) filed by Kumar Neeraj; Roman Uday; Kamra Sushil; Kumar Satyendra; Narjary Bhaskar; Arpan Sheering; and Janak Nandanee, Karnal, Haryana, on March 3, for 'applicability of em-38 sensor and gis index for mapping salt-affected areas with water table considerations.'
Inventor(s) include Kumar Neeraj; Roman Uday; Kamra Sushil; Kumar Satyendra; Narjary Bhaskar; Arpan Sheering; and Janak Nandanee.
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: "Soil salinity is one of the major problems of some arid region in the world. It is continuously rising due to the rise in global temperature and less precipitation. There are two types of salinity in any area i.e. saline soil and another is sodic soil. The ways of reclamation of both of the soils are different. It is very difficult to identify and differentiate both the soil. The delineation of salt-affected land and its prediction is one of the major challenges for the researchers. A lot of remote sensing and GIS Index have been introduced in the past to delineate salt-affected lands. One of the major limitations of this technique is that it also delineates the barren lands and some other lands which are not salt-affected. It cannot separate saline and sodic soil too. In this study the development of some remote sensing and GIS index has been done which is capable to identify and differentiate the saline and sodic land. This index is helpful to categories the salt-affected risk zone too. The equation has been tested by using field soil sample of the salt-affected area and found useful for identification and mapping of the saline area of the world."
