  • Chemicals Implicated in Colony Collapse Disorder
    Chemicals Implicated While research is underway to determine the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), pesticides have emerged as one of the prime suspects. Recent bans in Europe attest to the growing concerns surrounding pesticide use and honeybee decline. Neonicotinoids Neonicotinoids are a relatively new class of insecticides that share a common mode of action that affect the central nervous system of insects, resulting in paralysis and death. They include imidacloprid, acetamiprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran, nithiazine, thiacloprid and thiamethoxam. According to the EPA, uncertainties have been identified since their initial registration regarding the potential environmental fate and effects of neonicotinoid pesticides, particularly as they relate to pollinators. Studies conducted in the late 1990s suggest that neonicotinic residues can accumulate in pollen and nectar of treated plants and represent a potential risk to pollinators. There is major concern that neonicotinoid pesticides may play a role in recent pollinator declines. Neonicotinoids can also be persistent in the environment, and when used as seed treatments, translocate to residues in pollen and nectar of treated plants. The potential for these residues to affect bees and other pollinators remain uncertain. Despite these uncertainties, neonicotinoids are beginning to dominate the market place, putting pollinators at risk. The case of the neonicotinoids exemplifies two critical problems with current registration procedures and risk assessment methods for pesticides: the reliance on industry-funded science that contradicts peer-reviewed studies and the insufficiency of current risk assessment procedures to account for sublethal effects of pesticides. • Imidacloprid Used in agriculture as foliar and seed treatments, for indoor and outdoor insect control, home gardening and pet products, imidacloprid is the most popular neonicotinoid, first registered in 1994 under the trade names Merit®, Admire®, Advantage TM.

Berry Foundation for their ongoing support for American Bird Conservancy’s Pesticides Program. Written by Dr. Pierre Mineau and Cynthia Palmer Designed by Stephanie von Blackwood About the Authors Dr. Pierre Mineau began his long and distinguished scientific career studying the effects of persistent organochlorine compounds, like DDT and PCBs, on fish-eating birds. He then became responsible for the Canadian assessment of new and existing pesticides to determine their adverse impacts on wildlife. In 1994 he transitioned from regulatory reviews to full-time research on the environmental impacts of pesticides, achieving the rank of Senior Research Scientist at Environment Canada. Working with international collaborators and graduate students, he works on assessing globally the environmental footprint of pesticides. He also studies how birds are exposed to pesticides and how bird populations respond to pesticide use and agricultural practices. His work includes defining the ecological values of birds in cropland as well as estimating the incidental take of birds from various other human activities. He has written more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and has authored some 200 presentations.

  • INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE in ALFALFA WEEVIL and RELATED IMPLICATIONS in OTHER ALFALFA INSECT PESTS Michael D
    INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE IN ALFALFA WEEVIL AND RELATED IMPLICATIONS IN OTHER ALFALFA INSECT PESTS Michael D. Rethwisch1, Frank Peairs2, Jane Pierce3, Ayman Mostafa4, Stephen Price5, Ricardo Ramirez6, Silvia Rondon7, Scott Schell8, Jeremiah Vardiman9, Douglas B. Walsh10, Kevin Wanner11, and Erik Wenninger12 ABSTRACT Field failures in controlling alfalfa weevils are becoming more frequent in multiple western states the past several years with insecticide resistance now documented in at least three states (California, Colorado, Washington), primarily to the active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin (active ingredient in products such as Warrior II with Zeon Technology®). Some states are noting lack of control by chlorpyrifos (active ingredient in products such as Lorsban®) as well. Resistance is highly localized, which reflects both insecticide use pattern and short-range dispersal of alfalfa weevils. Insecticide resistance is expected to necessitate producers to rotate insecticides, often to a more expensive product. In fields that have both damaging levels of aphids and alfalfa weevils, a second insecticide will also probably be necessary as the product currently registered for best alfalfa weevil control based on university trials (indoxacarb, active ingredient in Steward®) has very little activity against aphids. Testing is underway in several states to determine the extent of insecticide resistance. Coordinated testing will be conducted across the western states beginning in 2020. Key Words: Insecticides, alfalfa weevil, resistance, pyrethroid,
