MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621011094 A) filed by Symbiosis International, Pune, Maharashtra, on Feb. 2, for 'intelligent irrigation system with automated valve control based on soil moisture and environmental parameters.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Pradnya Borkar; Sagarkumar Badhiye; Hitesh Dhawale; Mayur Thakre; and Om Bonde.
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: "The present invention relates to an intelligent irrigation system (100) for automated regulation of water supply in agricultural fields based on real-time soil moisture and environmental conditions. The system comprises a microcontroller unit (110) operatively connected to a soil moisture sensor (120), a temperature and humidity sensor (130), a relay module (140), and an electrically operated solenoid valve (150). The microcontroller (110) continuously monitors soil moisture levels through the soil moisture sensor (120) and environmental parameters including temperature and humidity through the DHT11 sensor (130). When the soil moisture falls below a predetermined threshold value and environmental conditions are favorable for plant water absorption, the microcontroller (110) activates the relay module (140) to open the solenoid valve (150) for controlled water release. A display unit (160) provides real-time visualization of sensor data and system status. The system prevents over-irrigation during high humidity conditions and adverse temperatures, thereby optimizing water usage and promoting healthy crop growth."
