Significance Environmental damage from insecticide overuse is a major concern, particularly for conservation of “good” insects such as pollinators that ensure stable production food crops like fruits and vegetables. However, insecticides are also necessary farmers to manage “bad” (i.e., pests), thus, more holistic view crop management needs account the proper balance between beneficial detrimental aspects pesticides. Here, we used multiyear field experiments with paired corn–watermelon cropping system show use can be dramatically reduced (by ∼95%) while maintaining or even increasing yields through wild bees pollinators. These data demonstrate ecosystem sustainability not necessarily conflicting goals.

Arthropods represent an entry point for pesticide transfers in terrestrial food webs, and accumulation upper chain organisms, such as predators can have cascading consequences on ecosystems. However, the mechanisms driving transfer bioaccumulation webs remain poorly understood. Here we review literature mediated by arthropods webs. The of pesticides their potential biomagnification are related to chemical properties toxicokinetic substances, resistance detoxification abilities contaminated well effects organisms' life history traits. We further identify four critical areas which knowledge gain would improve future predictions impacts First, efforts should be made regarding co-formulants mixtures that currently understudied. Second, progress sensitivity analytical methods allow detection low concentrations small individual arthropods. Quantifying preys, predators, or vertebrates at higher trophic level bring crucial insights into real-world Finally, quantifying influence structure complexity communities could address several important sources variability across species This narrative will inspire studies aiming quantify better capture ecological natural cultivated landscapes.

The extensive use of neonicotinoid pesticides has led to their widespread presence in the environment, resulting considerable safety risks ecosystem and human health. In this study, we investigated biotransformation behavior a cocktail multiple neonicotinoids piperonyl butoxide (PBO) synergist vivo potential environmental health risk. It was found that with cyano group, such as acetamiprid thiacloprid, tended accumulate liver spleen tissues, while others nitro groups (imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, dinotefuran, nitenpyram) were mostly excreted urine. PBO, metabolism changed, mainly through reduction pathway, low abundance related metabolites observed conventional hydroxylation demethylation metabolic pathways, due inhibition CYP450 enzymes by synergist. Furthermore, DNA methylation damage exacerbated induction hydroxylamine formed intermediate process synergistic effect which resulted higher level O6-methyldeoxyguanosine (O6-medG) biomarker liver. Therefore, during comprehensive evaluation pesticide risks, attention should be paid not only co-exposure mode under real conditions but also metabolites. This study provides referential strategy theoretical support for risk assessment chemicals.

Since the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) in nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans 1998 by Fire and Mello et al., strides have been made exploiting RNAi for therapeutic applications more recently highly selective insect pest control. Although triggering mRNA degradation insects through offers significant opportunities crop protection, application environmental naked dsRNA is often ineffective eliciting a response that results lethality. There are many possible reasons failed or weak induction RNAi, with predominant causes being formulated pesticide, field once ingested, poor cuticular oral uptake nucleic acid sometimes lack an innate strong systemic response. Therefore, last 10 years research effort has focused on developing methods protection delivery to enable RNAi-induced This review focuses design synthesis vectors (vehicles capable carrying protecting dsRNA) successfully enhance via machinery. The majority solutions exploit ability charged polymers, both synthetic natural, complex dsRNA, but alternative nanocarriers such as clay nanosheets liposomal vesicles also developed. various challenges obstacles development well-designed nanoparticles act protect highlighted.

Insect pollination establishes an ecosystem service around the globe, providing compelling budgetary and creative profits along with developmental values to humans vital eco-friendly measures for environment. It is, therefore, essential understand how insect pollinator populations communities respond rapidly changing environments if we are maintain healthy effective services. Although pollinators known provide services more than 80% of world's flowering plants (including cultivated crops), a steep decline (∼20–40%) in their population has created alarming situation global biodiversity. Threats bee recent years have increased awareness about critical role life on earth, as predicted persist only when all animal-pollinated plant species persist. Additionally, usage chemical pesticides may result collapse which leads decrease food resource density also facilitates increasing isolation natural habitats. So, overcome pollinators' decline, joint efforts stakeholders needed increase numbers planet. We cut down use synthetic pesticides, ban highly toxic tackle problems related colony disorder (CCD), climate change, habitat loss much-needed help native revive this paper aims focus appreciating rescuing them from threats leading extinctions turn will enhancing production.
