Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing pesticides are used, then pest control is achieved, but pests and diseases resistant to existing pesticides emerge
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by developing a novel chemical compound with a new molecular structure (formula I) that differs from existing pesticides. This structural parameter change creates a new mode of action that overcomes resistance to conventional pesticides, thereby restoring effective pest control against resistant strains.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention employs composite material principles by creating a complex amide compound with specific substituent groups (R1-R6) that work synergistically. The compound combines multiple functional groups in a specific arrangement to achieve both high efficacy against resistant pests and selective toxicity, representing a composite molecular structure designed to overcome resistance.
2Reliability
If novel insecticides are developed, then efficacy against resistant pests is improved, but the complexity of compound structure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the complex molecule into distinct functional segments represented by substituent groups R1 through R6. Each substituent can be independently selected from specific chemical groups, allowing the complex structure to be systematically designed and synthesized by combining standardized molecular building blocks.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention demonstrates universality through the general formula (I) that encompasses multiple specific compounds. The core amide structure with variable substituents serves as a universal scaffold that can be adapted to create different insecticides and microbicides with varying spectra of activity, including efficacy against both insects and plant pathogens.

AI summary
In crop production in the fields of agriculture, horticulture and the like, the damage caused by insect pests etc. is still immense, and insect pests resistant to existing insecticides have emerged. Under such circumstances, the development of novel agricultural and horticultural insecticides is desired. The present invention provides an amide compound represented by the general formula (I): (wherein A1, A2 and A3 each represent a nitrogen atom or a CH group, R1 represents an alkyl group, R2 and R4 each represent a haloalkyl group, R3 represents an alkyl group, and m represents 0, 1 or 2) or a salt thereof; an agricultural and horticultural insecticide and microbicide comprising the compound or a salt thereof as an active ingredient; and a method for using the insecticide and microbicide.
