AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text discusses the need for new pesticides to control pests that transmit human and animal diseases, as well as the economic and social impact of such pests on food production. The text describes the development of molecules with pesticidal activity against various pests, including arthropods, nematodes, and weeds. The technical effects of this patent include the incorporation of intermediates and processes to produce these molecules, as well as the use of these molecules in pesticidal compositions to protect against pests and diseases. The text also highlights the importance of non-chemical controls, such as crop rotations and biological controls, in preventing and controlling infectious diseases. Overall, the patent text emphasizes the ongoing need for new pesticides and the development of effective methods to control pests that can transmit diseases and affect food production.

Problems solved by technology

Each year insects, plant pathogens, and weeds, destroy more than 40% of all food production.

This loss occurs despite the application of pesticides and the use of a wide array of non-chemical controls, such as, crop rotations, and biological controls.

Plant parasitic nematodes are among the most widespread pests, and are frequently one of the most insidious and costly.

It is noted that gastropods (slugs and snails) are pests of less economic importance than other arthropods or nematodes, but in certain places, they may reduce yields substantially, severely affecting the quality of harvested products, as well as, transmitting human, animal, and plant diseases.

Termites cause damage to all types of private and public structures, as well as to agricultural and forestry resources.

Consequently, for many reasons, including those mentioned above, there is an on-going need for the costly (estimated to be about US$256 million per pesticide in 2010), time-consuming (on average about 10 years per pesticide), and difficult, development of new pesticides (CropLife America).
