Solution Overview

Problem

Existing pesticides, including anthranilamide compounds, often have inadequate effects against specific pests and short residual effects, making it difficult to achieve effective pest control.

Innovation Solution

The addition of a polyoxyalkylene phosphoric acid ester surfactant to anthranilamide compounds enhances their pesticidal effects, allowing for improved pest control at lower doses and reduced environmental impact.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If anthranilamide compounds are used alone, then they have basic pesticidal activity, but their controlling effects against specific pests are inadequate and residual effects are short

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepesticidal effectivenessVSAvoidresidual effect duration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines anthranilamide compound (active ingredient) with polyoxyalkylene phosphoric acid ester surfactant (adjuvant) to create a composite pesticidal composition. This composite formulation enhances the base pesticidal activity and extends residual effects by improving adhesion, penetration, and distribution of the active ingredient on plant surfaces and within plant tissues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If higher doses of anthranilamide compounds are applied to improve pest control, then controlling effects improve, but environmental load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control efficacyVSAvoidenvironmental load
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical-chemical parameters of the pesticidal composition by adding polyoxyalkylene phosphoric acid ester surfactant, which improves the bioavailability and utilization efficiency of the anthranilamide compound. This allows achieving the same or better pest control efficacy at lower application rates, thereby reducing environmental load while maintaining effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional formulations are used, then basic pest control is achieved, but adequate controlling effects cannot be obtained for certain pests

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectra of pest controlVSAvoidcontrolling effects against specific pests
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The polyoxyalkylene phosphoric acid ester surfactant acts as an intermediary substance that facilitates the interaction between the anthranilamide compound and the pest target. It improves penetration through cuticles and cell walls, enhances translocation within plant tissues, and modifies the release kinetics of the active ingredient, thereby expanding the spectrum of controllable pests and improving efficacy against resistant species.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
