Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional compounds are used to control plant diseases, then some disease control is achieved, but the efficacy is insufficient against various plant pathogens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease control efficacyVSAvoideffectiveness against various pathogens
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of conventional uracil compounds by introducing specific substituents (halogen atoms, alkyl groups, alkoxy groups) at defined positions of the uracil ring system. These structural parameter changes result in compounds with enhanced and broad-spectrum antifungal and antibacterial activity, resolving the contradiction between maintaining reliable disease control and achieving versatility against various pathogens

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates composite chemical structures by combining the uracil core scaffold with diverse substituent groups (fluoro, chloro, methyl, methoxy, ethyl groups) in specific configurations. This composite approach generates a series of derivatives with different but complementary activities against various plant pathogens, simultaneously improving reliability and versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
