Solution Overview

Problem

Current insecticidal compositions are inadequate in providing broad-spectrum, stable, and environmentally safe control of insect pests in crops, leading to the development of resistant pest strains and inefficiencies in crop productivity.

Innovation Solution

A combination of Chlorantraniliprole, Spirotetramat, and at least one insecticidal compound selected from Buprofezin, Bifenthrin, Propargite, or Pyriproxyfen, formulated with various excipients, which forms a synergistic composition effective against a wide range of insect pests.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If mixtures of different active compounds are employed to control harmful pests, then the control effectiveness and resistance prevention are improved, but the composition complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepest control effectivenessVSAvoidcomposition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines three different active ingredients (Chlorantraniliprole, Spirotetramat, and Buprofezin) into a single synergistic composition that provides broad-spectrum pest control. This merging of multiple active compounds with different mechanisms of action achieves enhanced effectiveness and resistance prevention while maintaining formulation stability through proper compatibilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite insecticidal formulation that integrates three distinct active ingredients with complementary modes of action. This composite approach allows the composition to target multiple pest groups simultaneously (Lepidoptera, Homoptera, Hemiptera) while the synergistic interaction between components enhances overall efficacy beyond simple additive effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If continuous development of effective compositions with different active compounds is pursued to avoid resistance, then the resistance development is delayed, but the development cost and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance preventionVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The ternary composition serves multiple functions simultaneously: it controls diverse pest groups (Lepidoptera, Homoptera, Hemiptera), prevents resistance development through multiple mechanisms of action, and provides synergistic enhancement. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate formulations for different pest types, reducing development time and resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary compatibility studies and synergistic effect evaluations during the formulation development stage to ensure stable long-term performance. By pre-testing various combinations and optimizing ratios (Chlorantraniliprole 1-15%, Spirotetramat 5-30%, Buprofezin 5-30%), the formulation achieves reliable resistance prevention without requiring continuous iterative development.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If higher doses of chemicals are sprayed to control resistant pest strains, then the control effectiveness is improved, but the environmental safety and crop productivity are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol effectivenessVSAvoidenvironmental harm
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the chemical parameters by using a synergistic combination of three active ingredients at optimized low doses (total active ingredient content 11-75% w/w). The synergistic interaction allows each component to work at sub-lethal concentrations that would be ineffective individually, achieving high control effectiveness while minimizing environmental load and residue accumulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the potential harm of chemical insecticides into benefit by using a synergistic formulation that achieves enhanced efficacy at reduced doses. The synergistic interaction between Chlorantraniliprole, Spirotetramat, and Buprofezin transforms what would be harmful high-dose applications into beneficial low-dose applications that protect crops while preserving environmental safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)
