MUMBAI, India, Jan. 3 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511102400 A) filed by Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, on Oct. 24, 2025, for 'method for preparing and applying a microbial-nanoparticle composite formulation for seed coating.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Satya Prakash.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a method (100) for preparing and applying a microbial-nanoparticle composite seed coating that enhances seed germination, stress tolerance, and pathogen resistance. The method includes preparing microbial cultures of Trichoderma harzianum, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Azospirillumbrasilense, and Beauveriabassiana; dispersing nanoparticles including zinc oxide, silica, nano-sulfur, selenium, chitosan, nanoclay, and curcumin; incorporating Spirulina extract, Aloe vera gel, Tulsi oil, and Eucalyptus oil; and stabilizing microbes with alginate, trehalose, skim milk powder, and glycerol. The final composite is blended with gibberellic acid and applied to seeds at 2-5% weight. Coated seeds are dried, packaged, and stored under controlled conditions, maintaining microbial viability for 6-9 months. This method offers sustainable seed enhancement, reduces reliance on chemical inputs, and supports climate-smart agricultural practices."
