MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024543 A) filed by Ms. K. Bharathi; Nitish Kumar; Raju Kumar; and Saket Raj, Erode, Tamil Nadu, on March 2, for 'design and fabrication of precision fertilizer applicator.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. K. Bharathi; Nitish Kumar; Raju Kumar; and Saket Raj.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Design and fabrication of precision fertilizer applicator is the proposed invention. The project entitled Design and Fabrication of Precision Fertilizer Applicator focuses on the development of a highly efficient, user-friendly and battery-operated fertilizer application system aimed at improving the accuracy, uniformity and sustainability of nutrient delivery in agricultural fields. Modern agriculture faces countless challenges, including escalating fertilizer prices, rising labour shortages, nutrient wastage caused by improper application methods, low fertilizer-use efficiency and increased environmental concerns due to chemical overuse. Traditional broadcasting techniques often deliver fertilizers unevenly, leading to patchy crop growth, nutrient imbalances and significant financial losses to farmers. This project emerges as an innovative attempt to design a compact, cost-effective and portable fertilizer applicator that can replace labor-intensive methods with precision-based technology suitable for farmers of all scales, especially small and marginal farmers."
