Whenever Neonicotinoid (neonic) insecticide applications are made to vegetable crops near waterways and other sensitive sites, growers and applicators should be aware of the potential for drift or runoff to these areas. Neonic insecticides have the potential to be carried off-site as well as adhere to soil particles and be transported in sediment moving off a field.
Insects, including the honey bee as well as wild bee species, butterflies, beetles, wasps and flies, are important pollinators. Honey bees and other insect pollinators provide important pollination service to millions of acres of fruit, nuts, vegetables and other flowers across North America. Pesticides play an important role in controlling insects, mites, weeds and diseases on farms and in urban landscapes.
