Contamination of wild plants near neonicotinoid seed-treated crops, and implications for non-target insects [PDF]

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2016
Neonicotinoid insecticides are commonly-used as seed treatments on flowering crops such as oilseed rape. Their persistence and solubility in water increase the chances of environmental contamination via surface-runoff or drainage into areas adjacent to ...

Call to restrict neonicotinoids [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2018
Neonicotinoids are the most widely used insecticides in the world (1). They are applied to a broad range of food, energy, and ornamental crops, and used in domestic pest control (2). Because they are neurotoxins, they are highly toxic to insects (2), a group of organisms that contains the majority of the described life on Earth, and which includes ...
