Bacillus APM-1 and Nicotinic Agonist Pest Control Composition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current pest control methods are inadequate in effectively managing crop losses caused by pests, necessitating a more potent composition for controlling pests.
Innovation Solution
A composition combining Bacillus strain APM-1 and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist compounds, such as clothianidin, flupyradifurone, imidacloprid, thiacloprid, and thiamethoxam, is developed for enhanced pest control efficacy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing pest control methods are used, then pest damage is controlled to some extent, but the controlling effect is insufficient and crop losses continue
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines Bacillus strain APM-1 (a biological pest control agent) with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist compounds (chemical insecticides) to create a composite pest control composition. This merging of biological and chemical approaches produces a synergistic effect that significantly enhances pest controlling efficacy compared to using either component alone, thereby resolving the insufficiency of existing single-method pest control approaches.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a composite pest control material consisting of two distinct active ingredients: Bacillus strain APM-1 (a bacterium that produces insecticidal substances) and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist compounds (synthetic or semi-synthetic insecticides). This composite formulation leverages the complementary mechanisms of action of both components to achieve superior and more reliable pest control, directly addressing the inadequate controlling effect of conventional single-component methods.
2Reliability
If more potent pest control compositions are developed, then pest controlling effect is enhanced, but complexity of the composition increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges two well-established pest control components (Bacillus strain and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists) into a single composite composition. By combining components with complementary and non-overlapping mechanisms of action, the invention achieves enhanced pest controlling effect while maintaining manageable composition complexity, as each component contributes uniquely to the overall efficacy without requiring complex interaction management.
