We present a synthetic review and expert consultation that assesses the actual risks posed by arthropod pests in four major crops, identifies targets for integrated pest management (IPM) terms of cultivated land needing control gauges implementation "readiness" non-chemical alternatives. Our assessment focuses on world's primary target neonicotinoid-based management: western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) maize; wireworms (Agriotes spp.) maize winter wheat; bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) rice; cotton (Aphis gossypii) silver-leaf whitefly (SLW, Bemisia tabaci) cotton. First, we queried scientific literature databases consulted experts from different countries Europe, North America, Asia about available IPM tools each crop-pest system. Next, using an online survey, quantitatively assessed economic relevance compiling country-level records crop damage, yield impacts, extent insecticide usage, status various alternatives (i.e., research, plot-scale validation, grower-uptake). Biological received considerable attention, while agronomic strategies (e.g., rotation), insurance schemes, decision support systems (DSS), innovative pesticide application modes were listed as key study opportunities to advance applied technology grower education halt or drastically reduce our over-reliance systemic insecticides globally.

Abstract Neonicotinoid insecticides can have sub‐lethal effects on bees which has led to calls from conservationists for a global ban. In contrast, agrochemical companies argue that neonicotinoids do not harm honeybees at field‐realistic levels. However, the focus neglects potential impact other bee species.

The assessment of pesticide risks to insect pollinators have typically focused on short-term, lethal impacts. environmental ramifications many the world's most commonly employed pesticides, such as those exhibiting systemic properties that can result in long-lasting exposure insects, may thus be severely underestimated.

Over-reliance on pesticides for pest control is inflicting serious damage to the environmental services that underpin agricultural productivity. The widespread use of systemic insecticides, neonicotinoids, and phenylpyrazole fipronil in particular assessed here terms their actual management, effects crop yields, development resistance these compounds many crops after two decades usage. Resistance can only be overcome longterm by implementing methods are not exclusively based synthetic pesticides. A diverse range management tactics already available, all which achieve efficient below economic injury level while maintaining productivity crops. novel insurance method against failure shown as an example alternative protect farmer's livelihoods without having insecticides.

Agricultural soil pests, including wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae), are managed primarily with pesticides applied directly to seeds before sowing. Seeds coated neonicotinoids have been used widely in Quebec (Canada) for several years. To assess the agronomic and economic value of neonicotinoid seed treatments soybeans corn Quebec, trials were conducted from 2012 2016 84 fields across seven regions Quebec. We evaluated effect on pest densities, crop damage yield. The results showed that 92.6% 69.0% soybean had less than 1 wireworm per bait trap. However, no significant differences plant stand or yield observed between treated untreated during study. This study shows field crops useful 5% cases, given very low level pest-associated pressure damage, they should not be prophylactically. Integrated management (IPM) strategies need developed insect pests offer effective alternative solutions producers.

Thus, action not limited insects, but also affects crop plants, especially considered. Plants primary venue reach arthropods targeted by insecticidal molecule. they can retain distribute byproducts, eventually exhibit consequences exposure.

Abstract The widespread prophylactic usage of neonicotinoid insecticides has a clear impact on non-target organisms. However, the possible effects long-term exposure soil-dwelling organisms are still poorly understood especially for social insects with long-living queens. Here, we show that chronic to thiamethoxam black garden ant colonies, Lasius niger , become visible before second overwintering. Queens and workers differed in residue-ratio its metabolite clothianidin, suggesting queens may have superior detoxification system. Even though did not affect queen mortality, neonicotinoid-exposed colonies showed reduced number larvae indicating trade-off between fertility. Since colony size is key fitness, our data suggest impacts neonicotinoids these This should be accounted future environmental ecological risk assessments applications prevent irreparable damages ecosystems.
