Parmar University Of Horticulture & Forestry; and Richa Salwan, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, on April 15, for 'microbial consortium based talc bioformulation for crop stress management and a method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Richa Salwan.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a talc-based bioformulation comprising a microbial consortium for crop stress management and a method of producing the same. The bioformulation comprises autoclaved talc powder as a carrier and a synergistic consortium of a fungal inoculant comprising Trichoderma harzianum T5 and a bacterial inoculant comprising Streptomyces sp. AC40, co-colonized within the carrier. The consortium provides combined biocontrol and plant growth-promoting functions by suppressing soil-borne pathogens and enhancing nutrient mobilization and physiological resilience in vegetable crops. The formulation overcomes limitations associated with single-strain bioinoculants by ensuring functional stability and consistent field performance. The invention provides a scalable, eco-friendly, and agriculturally viable bioformulation suitable for improving crop performance under biotic and abiotic stress conditions."
