Solution Overview

Problem

Current chemical pesticides used to control agricultural pests, such as ticks and mites, face issues with resistance development, environmental toxicity, and negative health effects, necessitating the development of safer, more effective alternatives.

Innovation Solution

A synergistic botanical-based bio-acaricidal composition combining standardized, concentrated plant extracts and purified phyto ingredients from various botanical sources, including Cinnamomum cassia, Piper nigrum, Syzygium aromaticum, and others, which are blended and processed to create a nano-formulation for enhanced efficacy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If chemical acaricides are used to control pests, then pest control effectiveness is improved, but environmental toxicity and health hazards increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepest control effectivenessVSAvoidenvironmental toxicity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by using botanical extracts (neem, piper nigrum, curcuma longa, etc.) instead of synthetic chemical acaricides. This parameter change maintains pest control effectiveness while reducing environmental toxicity and health hazards associated with conventional chemicals.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite botanical formulation combining multiple plant extracts (neem oil, piper nigrum extract, curcuma longa extract, etc.) to achieve synergistic pest control effects. This composite approach provides broad-spectrum acaricidal activity while maintaining environmental safety and reducing resistance development.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If chemical pesticides are repeatedly applied to control pests, then initial pest control is achieved, but pests develop tolerance and resistance

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepest control effectivenessVSAvoidresistance development time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the mode of action parameters by using multiple botanical compounds with different mechanisms of action (neem azadirachtin affects feeding and development, piperine acts as neurotoxin, curcumin has antifungal properties). This multi-mode approach prevents pests from developing resistance through repeated applications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The composite formulation combines multiple botanical extracts with different modes of action, creating a complex mixture that is difficult for pests to adapt to. This delays resistance development while maintaining effective pest control over time.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

3Productivity

If chemical pesticides are used to maximize crop productivity, then crop yield is improved, but negative environmental effects and health risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecrop yieldVSAvoidhealth hazards

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and utilizes beneficial compounds from natural plant sources (azadirachtin from neem, piperine from black pepper, curcumin from turmeric) to create pest control formulations. This extraction approach provides effective pest management while eliminating the harmful synthetic chemicals associated with conventional pesticides.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts potentially harmful pest infestations into benefits by using plant-based compounds that control pests while simultaneously improving soil health and crop nutrition. The botanical extracts provide pest control plus additional benefits like enhanced plant growth and reduced environmental contamination.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

4Object-affected harmful factors

If botanical based acaricides are used to reduce chemical consumption, then environmental safety is improved, but formulation complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveenvironmental safetyVSAvoidformulation complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple botanical extracts into a single integrated formulation that can be manufactured and applied as one product. This combining approach simplifies manufacturing by creating a unified botanical acaricide rather than requiring separate applications of different plant extracts.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal botanical formulation that provides multiple functions: acaricidal activity, insecticidal properties, antifungal effects, and plant growth promotion. This multi-functional approach reduces formulation complexity by achieving diverse pest management goals through a single product.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
