Active Compound Combinations for Plant-Compatible Pest Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing acaricidal and insecticidal compounds exhibit unsatisfactory efficacy and compatibility with plants, particularly crop plants, necessitating the development of novel active compound combinations with improved properties.
Innovation Solution
A combination of compounds of formula (I) with specific substituents and at least one active compound from Biological Control Agent (BCA) Groups (1) to (7) for enhanced insecticidal, acaricidal, and nematicidal properties, exhibiting synergistic effects against animal and microbial pests, and acting as plant strengthening agents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If known compounds of formula (I) are used for insecticidal control, then some insecticidal activity is achieved, but the acaricidal efficacy and compatibility with plants are unsatisfactory
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines compounds of formula (I) with biological control agents (BCAs) from groups (1) to (7) to create synergistic mixtures. This merging approach leverages the complementary strengths of both components: the insecticidal activity of formula (I) compounds and the broad-spectrum biological control properties of BCAs, thereby improving overall acaricidal efficacy and plant compatibility simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates composite active substance combinations by integrating chemical compounds of formula (I) with biological control agents. This composite approach produces a multi-functional formulation that exhibits enhanced insecticidal, acaricidal, and nematicidal properties while maintaining better compatibility with crop plants compared to single-component products
2Adaptability or versatility
If known compounds of formula (I) are used for pest control, then some insecticidal action is achieved, but the activity spectrum and compatibility with plants are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The combination of formula (I) compounds with biological control agents creates a multi-functional product that targets multiple pest types (insects, acarids, nematodes) and provides both direct toxic effects and plant strengthening actions. This universal approach expands the activity spectrum while maintaining plant compatibility through the beneficial effects of BCAs
3Reliability
If single active ingredients are used, then the formulation is simple, but the synergistic effect and overall pest control efficacy are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges compounds of formula (I) with biological control agents to create synergistic mixtures. This combining approach produces enhanced pest control efficacy that exceeds the sum of individual components, achieving superior insecticidal, acaricidal, and nematicidal effects while the formulation remains practically manageable
