Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional pesticidal compositions have limited effectiveness against specific pests, short residual activity, and often require high doses and labor-intensive application methods.

Innovation Solution

A pesticidal solid composition comprising cyclaniliprole or its salt, an anionic surfactant dissolved in a polar solvent, and an oil-absorbing powder combined with a granular carrier, allowing for absorption and diffusion in soil for prolonged pest control with reduced chemical application labor and dosage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If conventional pesticidal compositions are used, then pest control is achieved, but the residual activity lasts only for a short period of time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresidual activity durationVSAvoidpest control effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies cyclaniliprole to seeds or seedlings before pest infestation occurs, allowing the compound to be absorbed and transported within the plant. This preliminary application ensures continuous pest control activity throughout the plant's growth period, extending residual activity duration while maintaining reliable pest control effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention enables continuous pest control by incorporating cyclaniliprole into the plant's physiological system through seed treatment. The compound continues to exert its insecticidal action throughout the plant's development, providing uninterrupted protection rather than short-term residual activity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

2Reliability

If conventional pesticidal compositions are used, then pest control is achieved, but high doses are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control effectivenessVSAvoidchemical dosage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the plant's own physiological systems (seed absorption, transport, and distribution mechanisms) to deliver cyclaniliprole to target tissues. This self-service approach eliminates the need for high external doses, as the plant's internal mechanisms efficiently distribute the compound throughout its structure, reducing the quantity of chemical substance required while maintaining effective pest control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If conventional application methods are used, then pest control is achieved, but labor-intensive application operations are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control effectivenessVSAvoidapplication operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs pest control preparation in advance by treating seeds or seedlings with cyclaniliprole before planting. This preliminary action eliminates the need for complex application operations during pest infestation, as the compound is already positioned within the plant to provide protection. The simple seed treatment process reduces application operation complexity while maintaining effective pest control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Reliability

If cyclaniliprole is applied to seeds or seedlings, then pest control effectiveness is improved, but the compound requires specific formulation components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control effectivenessVSAvoidcomposition formulation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the formulation by controlling the particle size of cyclaniliprole (0.01-150 μm) and the ratios of components (cyclaniliprole:carrier:surfactant). These parameter changes enhance the compound's absorption and distribution within the plant, improving pest control effectiveness while keeping the formulation relatively simple through controlled composition rather than complex multi-component systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
