This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,856,955.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed binary compositions that disrupt odorant sensing in insects, but these compositions had limitations in terms of efficacy, persistence, and environmental impact. This invention addresses these limitations by introducing new methods, systems, and compositions that enhance the disruption of odorant sensing, reduce environmental impact, and provide more effective delivery mechanisms.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce novel and non-obvious improvements and enhancements to the original binary compositions, including the use of hydrophobic coatings, microencapsulation devices, and biodegradable carrier materials. These innovations provide a significant step forward in the field of odorant sensing disruption, offering more effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the invention could include the use of different hydrophobic coatings, microencapsulation materials, or biodegradable carrier materials. Additionally, the invention could be adapted for use in different agricultural settings, such as greenhouses or indoor farming facilities.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The invention has significant commercial potential in the agricultural industry, particularly in the areas of pest control and crop protection. The invention could be marketed as a more effective and environmentally friendly alternative to existing pest control methods, with potential applications in a wide range of crops and agricultural settings.
