Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current agents for controlling plant diseases, such as α-substituted phenylacetic acid compounds and ethaboxam, have limitations in effectiveness, necessitating the development of more potent formulations for comprehensive disease control.
Innovation Solution
A composition combining a specific compound represented by formula (1) with ethaboxam, where X1, X2, and X3 can be methyl, difluoromethyl, ethyl, methoxy, methylamino, phenyl, or 2,5-dimethylphenyl groups, applied in various ratios and formulations, including seed treatments and soil applications, to enhance disease control efficacy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional agents (α-substituted phenylacetic acid compounds or ethaboxam alone) are used, then the formulation is simple, but the control effect for plant diseases is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines compound (1) and ethaboxam into a single formulation to achieve synergistic effects. The combination shows improved control effect for plant diseases compared to using either compound alone, resolving the contradiction between formulation simplicity and disease control effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite formulation containing both compound (1) and ethaboxam. This composite material leverages the complementary properties of both active ingredients to achieve superior disease control while maintaining practical formulation simplicity through defined weight ratios.
2Reliability
If a combination of compound (1) and ethaboxam is used, then the control effect for plant diseases is improved, but the formulation becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the weight ratio parameters of compound (1) to ethaboxam (ranging from 1:10 to 10:1) to achieve the best synergistic effect. By adjusting these compositional parameters, the formulation achieves maximum disease control efficacy while managing the complexity of the combination.
3Reliability
If higher amounts of single agent are applied, then the control effect may improve, but the loss of substance and environmental impact increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the potential harm of using high amounts of single agents into a benefit by using lower amounts of a combined formulation. The synergistic interaction between compound (1) and ethaboxam allows reduced application rates while maintaining or improving disease control, thereby reducing substance loss and environmental impact.
