The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The invention provides controlled release biostimulant capsules designed to enhance heavy metal phytoremediation in urban soils. These biodegradable capsules, made from materials like chitosan, alginate, or PLGA, contain biostimulants such as plant hormones, organic acids, microbial inoculants, and micronutrients. The controlled release mechanism ensures a gradual, sustained supply of nutrients, improving plant growth, root development, and heavy metal uptake over time. The capsules are applied through soil injection or top-dressing, allowing for customizable release profiles based on soil conditions. This innovation optimizes phytoremediation in contaminated urban landscapes, enhances soil health, and promotes sustainable, eco-friendly remediation solutions, making it suitable for both large-scale projects and smaller urban gardening initiatives.
