Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional herbicides used in wheat fields often require high dosages and strict application techniques due to limited weed control effect at low doses, leading to safety risks for crops and rapid development of drug resistance in weeds, with cross-target resistance issues between different herbicide classes.

Innovation Solution

A synergistic herbicidal composition comprising a 4-benzoylpyrazole compound combined with other active ingredients such as MCPA, 2,4-D, bromoxynil, and diflufenican, within specific weight ratios, which provides a broader spectrum of weed control, reduced application rate, and enhanced safety for crops.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional herbicides are used at high dosage, then weed control effect is improved, but crop safety deteriorates and drug resistance develops rapidly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweed control effectVSAvoidcrop safety
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines a 4-benzoylpyrazole compound (active ingredient A) with conventional herbicides (active ingredient B) to create a synergistic composition. This merging of different herbicide classes achieves enhanced weed control efficacy while allowing reduced application rates, thereby maintaining crop safety and slowing resistance development.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite herbicidal composition consisting of two distinct active ingredients with different modes of action. The 4-benzoylpyrazole compound (formula I) is combined with conventional herbicides in specific weight ratios (0.1:99.9 to 99.9:0.1), forming a composite material that leverages the strengths of each component while mitigating their individual limitations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional herbicides are used at low dosage, then crop safety is improved, but weed control effect deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecrop safetyVSAvoidweed control effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The synergistic composition merges the 4-benzoylpyrazole compound with conventional herbicides to achieve enhanced efficacy at reduced dosages. The combination allows the use of lower application rates while maintaining or improving weed control effectiveness, thereby ensuring crop safety without sacrificing performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the effective concentration parameter by utilizing a synergistic combination that produces greater than additive effects. The specific weight ratios of the two active ingredients create a composition where the combined herbicidal activity exceeds the sum of individual activities, enabling effective weed control at lower total dosages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If single chemical herbicide is used continuously, then application simplicity is improved, but drug resistance and tolerance in weeds deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication simplicityVSAvoiddrug resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges two herbicides with different functional mechanisms into a single composite formulation. This approach maintains application simplicity as farmers apply one product rather than multiple separate treatments, while simultaneously combating drug resistance through the synergistic interaction of ingredients with different modes of action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The composite herbicidal composition incorporates two active ingredients with distinct biochemical targets and modes of action. The 4-benzoylpyrazole compound (formula I) works through a different mechanism than conventional herbicides, and their combination in specific ratios creates a material that effectively manages resistance while simplifying application protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

4Reliability

If photosynthetic photosystem II herbicides are used alone, then broad-leaved weed control is improved, but crop safety deteriorates due to high dosage requirement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweed control spectrumVSAvoidcrop safety
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges photosynthetic photosystem II herbicides with the 4-benzoylpyrazole compound to create a synergistic composition. This combination maintains the broad-spectrum broad-leaved weed control capability while reducing the required dosage, thereby improving crop safety through the enhanced efficacy of the synergistic formulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
