Diamide Insecticide and Silicic Acid Agrochemical Combinations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current combinations of anthranilamide insecticides with fungicides and plant health promoters lack broad-spectrum disease control and enhanced plant health, leading to decreased crop tolerance, increased resistance, and lower use rates, necessitating a formulation that offers improved efficacy and yield while reducing fungal disease incidence and enhancing insecticidal activity.
Innovation Solution
A combination of diamide insecticides such as broflanilide, chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole, cyclaniliprole, cyhalodiamide, flubendiamide, and tetraniliprole, paired with multi-site fungicides like dithiocarbamates and plant health promoting agents like silicic acid-based additives, to enhance insecticidal, fungicidal, and plant growth-promoting activities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If diamide insecticides are used alone, then insecticidal activity is achieved, but fungicidal control and plant health promotion are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines diamide insecticides with multi-site fungicides and plant health promoters in a single composition, creating a triple-action formulation that simultaneously provides insect control, fungal disease management, and plant health benefits, thereby resolving the contradiction between spectrum and efficacy
Solution Approach 2:
The composition is designed to perform multiple functions: insecticidal activity from diamides, fungicidal activity from multi-site fungicides, and plant health promotion from silica-based additives, making a single application serve multiple agricultural needs
2Reliability
If higher use rates of individual compounds are applied, then efficacy is improved, but crop tolerance decreases and resistance increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of active ingredient combinations, using sub-lethal doses of diamide insecticides combined with multi-site fungicides and plant health promoters, which maintains efficacy while reducing the selection pressure for resistance development
Solution Approach 2:
The formulation uses a composite approach combining three different types of agrochemicals with different modes of action, where the multi-site fungicides and plant health promoters enhance the overall efficacy, allowing reduced doses of the diamide insecticide
3Object-affected harmful factors
If lower use rates are imposed, then resistance is reduced, but broad-spectrum disease control and plant health enhancement are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges diamide insecticides with multi-site fungicides and plant health promoters, where the combination of sub-lethal doses of multiple actives with different modes of action achieves broad-spectrum disease control and plant health enhancement while reducing resistance development
Solution Approach 2:
Plant health promoters act as intermediaries that enhance the overall performance of the composition, improving plant defense mechanisms and health status, which complements the reduced-dose insecticidal and fungicidal activities
