Solution Overview

Problem

Current pesticides are inefficient, economically unfeasible, and environmentally unacceptable for effectively managing nematodes and fungi in agricultural and other applications, lacking a balanced approach to efficacy and sustainability.

Innovation Solution

A composition comprising specific nematocidal and fungicidal compounds, represented by general Formula I, is developed, which includes a pesticide effective amount of a compound with defined structural characteristics, combined with a deodorizing compound like isoamyl acetate, a glycol ether solvent, and surfactants, applied at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 2500 ppm to inhibit or kill pests.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional pesticides are used for pest control, then pest management is performed, but efficiency is insufficient and environmental acceptability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control efficiencyVSAvoidenvironmental harm
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical structure parameters of pesticide compounds by introducing specific substituents (R1-H, R2-C7 alkyl; R1-H, R2-C3-C9 alkyl; or R1-R2 forming 3-7 membered rings) to create novel compounds with improved efficacy and reduced environmental harm compared to conventional pesticides

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple compounds with specific structural formulas into composite pesticidal compositions, where the synergistic interaction between different compounds achieves superior pest control efficiency while maintaining environmental acceptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Duration of action of stationary object

If conventional pesticides are applied periodically, then pest control is maintained, but economic feasibility is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control durationVSAvoideconomic feasibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent develops pesticide compositions with enhanced duration of action that provide prolonged protection against pests, reducing the frequency of application needed and thereby improving economic feasibility through reduced labor and material costs over time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If higher concentrations of pesticides are used, then pest killing effectiveness is improved, but environmental acceptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepesticidal effectivenessVSAvoidenvironmental toxicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the concentration parameters of active ingredients in the pesticidal compositions to achieve maximum effectiveness at lower concentrations, thereby reducing environmental toxicity while maintaining high pesticidal activity through improved compound design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
