Solution Overview

Problem

Current pest control methods face challenges such as high pesticide application rates, environmental and toxicological concerns, rapid development of resistance, limited spectrum of effectiveness, and the need for quick and long-lasting action, while also desiring improved plant health and yield.

Innovation Solution

A pesticidal active mixture comprising a pyrazolopyridine anthranilamide compound combined with either an insecticidally or fungicidally active compound, which synergistically enhances pest control efficacy, reduces application rates, broadens the spectrum of controlled pests, and improves safety and plant health.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If pesticide application rates are increased to achieve effective pest control, then pest control efficacy is improved, but environmental and toxicological effects worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control efficacyVSAvoidenvironmental and toxicological effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines pyrazolopyridine anthranilamide compounds with other pesticidally active compounds to create synergistic mixtures. This merging of different active ingredients achieves enhanced pest control efficacy while allowing reduction of individual compound application rates, thereby reducing environmental and toxicological effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates composite pesticidal formulations containing multiple active ingredients (pyrazolopyridine anthranilamide compounds combined with other pesticidally active compounds). These composite materials provide synergistic effects that improve control efficacy while enabling lower application rates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If solo pesticides are repeatedly applied to control pests, then initial pest control is achieved, but natural or adapted resistance develops reducing effectiveness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control effectivenessVSAvoidlong lasting activity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines pyrazolopyridine anthranilamide compounds with other pesticidally active compounds having different modes of action. This combination prevents resistance development by targeting multiple physiological pathways simultaneously, ensuring long-lasting effectiveness and preventing adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If single pesticidal compounds are used to minimize complexity, then application simplicity is maintained, but spectrum of controlled pests is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum of controlled pestsVSAvoidmixture composition
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges pyrazolopyridine anthranilamide compounds with other pesticidally active compounds in specifically formulated ratios. This combination broadens the spectrum of controlled pests while maintaining manageable formulation complexity through defined compositional ranges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Object-affected harmful factors

If pesticide application rates are reduced to minimize environmental impact, then environmental safety is improved, but pest control efficacy decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental safetyVSAvoidpest control efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines pyrazolopyridine anthranilamide compounds with other pesticidally active compounds in synergistic mixtures. This allows reduction of individual compound application rates while maintaining or enhancing overall pest control efficacy through synergistic interactions between components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates composite formulations with defined ratios of multiple active ingredients that provide synergistic effects. These composite materials enable reduced application rates while maintaining control efficacy, thereby improving environmental safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
