Interaction of Insecticides and Fungicides in Bees
Frontiers in Insect Science, 2022 Honeybees and wild bees are among the most important pollinators of both wild and cultivated landscapes. In recent years, however, a significant decline in these pollinators has been recorded. This decrease can have many causes including the heavy use of

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2021 Background The invincible effects of the entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) under appropriate circumstances compensate for the flaws of chemical insecticides in the control programs. Beauveria bassiana is one of the most elaborated EPF of pest control all over

Phytotoxicity of the combination of some insecticides and fungicides on the ornamental species Petunia sp. [PDF]
Poljoprivreda, 2016 In the production of ornamental plants, it is often necessary to combine plant protection products (PPPs) for simultaneous pest control. The use of a combination of PPPs often leads to phytotoxicity.

Do novel insecticides pose a threat to beneficial insects?
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2020 Systemic insecticides, such as neonicotinoids, are a major contributor towards beneficial insect declines. This has led to bans and restrictions on neonicotinoid use globally, most noticeably in the European Union, where four commonly used neonicotinoids
