MUMBAI, India, July 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641088324 A) filed by P Venkata Krishna on July 20, 2026, for Drone-Integrated Portable Multi-Modal Fiber-Optic Spectral Reflectance System For Precision Agriculture And Vegetation Monitoring.
Inventors include P Venkata Krishna; Bhavani Kumar Yellapragada; Usha Rayalchruvu; and Uma Vennum.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: A drone-based spectrometer system for agricultural applications is disclosed for acquiring spectral data from crop canopies to assess plant condition and field variability. The system enables non-destructive, high-resolution monitoring of crop health, including detection of nutrient deficiency, water stress, disease, weed infestation, and spatial variability in growth. Spectral measurements obtained from the drone may be processed to generate vegetation indices and other analytical outputs useful for agricultural decision-making. The disclosed approach supports timely assessment of crops over large areas and may be used to improve irrigation, fertilization, pest management, yield estimation, and overall precision agriculture operations.
