Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional synthetic chemical pesticides are ineffective in controlling insect damage, lead to pesticide-resistant pests, and cause environmental pollution, while plant-derived insect damage inhibitors provide only short-term protection.
Innovation Solution
An insect damage inhibitor using a rosin-based resin with a specific amount of volatile components, effective in controlling insect damage by repelling, inhibiting reproduction, and killing pests, and applied in agricultural and horticultural applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If synthetic chemical pesticides are used to control insect damage, then the insect control effect is improved, but environmental pollution worsens and pesticide-resistant pests emerge
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by using plant-derived biomass materials (rosin-based resin with specific volatile components) instead of synthetic chemical pesticides. The rosin-based resin contains 1-50% by weight of specific volatile components that provide sustained insect control while reducing environmental harm.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite material system by combining rosin-based resin with specific volatile components (1-50% by weight) to form an insect damage inhibitor that provides both effectiveness and environmental sustainability. This composite approach leverages the properties of both the resin matrix and the volatile active ingredients.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If plant-derived insect damage inhibitors are used to reduce environmental load, then environmental characteristics are improved, but the duration of action worsens (only about one week)
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the volatile component content parameter to 1-50% by weight in the rosin-based resin, which provides sustained release of active ingredients. This parameter optimization enables the formulation to maintain effective insect control concentrations over extended periods while remaining environmentally benign.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent achieves continuous useful action through the sustained release mechanism of the rosin-based resin formulation. The volatile components are released gradually over time, maintaining effective concentrations for insect control without requiring frequent reapplication, thus providing continuous protection while reducing environmental load.
3Reliability
If large quantities of pesticides are used to increase insect control effect, then the reliability is improved, but the emergence of pesticide-resistant pests worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the approach from high-dose synthetic chemicals to optimized plant-derived formulations with 1-50% volatile components in rosin-based resin. This parameter change in composition and concentration provides effective insect control through natural compounds, reducing the selection pressure that leads to pest resistance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes plant-derived biomass materials that are renewable and biodegradable, replacing persistent synthetic chemicals. The rosin-based resin formulation provides effective control and then degrades naturally, preventing long-term accumulation and resistance development in pest populations.
