Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Synthetic pesticides are toxic and harmful to the environment, affecting non-target organisms and leading to pest resistance, while existing phytochemicals lack sufficient activity against insects without harming humans or the environment.

Innovation Solution

A blend of phytochemicals including substituted or unsubstituted alkaloids, terpenoids, aldehydes, and essential oils, formulated with agriculturally acceptable excipients, is developed to create a biopesticide and biostimulant composition with improved insecticidal activity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If synthetic pesticides are used to control pests, then pest control effectiveness is improved, but toxicity to humans and environment increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepest control effectivenessVSAvoidtoxicity to humans and environment

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters from synthetic pesticides to plant-derived phytochemicals (alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolics, flavonoids, essential oils), maintaining pesticidal activity while altering the toxicological profile to be safer for humans and the environment

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite formulations containing multiple phytochemical classes (alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolics, flavonoids, essential oils) extracted from plant materials, combining the pesticidal properties of different natural compounds to achieve effective pest control with reduced toxicity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If phytochemicals are used as biopesticides, then toxicity to humans and environment is reduced, but insecticidal activity is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetoxicity to humans and environmentVSAvoidinsecticidal activity

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple phytochemical classes (alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolics, flavonoids, essential oils) from different plant sources into a single formulation, combining their individual pesticidal activities to achieve synergistic or additive effects that overcome the limitation of insufficient activity of individual phytochemicals

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent formulates composite biopesticide products containing blends of different phytochemical extracts, utilizing the complementary modes of action and properties of various natural compounds to enhance overall insecticidal effectiveness while maintaining safety profiles

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If synthetic pesticides are applied repeatedly, then pest control is maintained, but pest resistance increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepest control maintenanceVSAvoidpest resistance

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic rotation strategies by formulating products that can be alternated with other biopesticides and conventional pesticides, preventing pests from adapting to a single mode of action while maintaining continuous pest control pressure through varied chemical mechanisms

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the chemical parameters of pest control by using diverse phytochemical compounds with different modes of action compared to synthetic pesticides, making it harder for pests to develop resistance through repeated exposure to the same chemical class

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes
