research about neonics on the land posted on july 28 2014 by argylesock here in europe three insect killing neonicotinoids are under a temporary ban during the ban our uk government is welcoming new research it s now become known that pesticide manufacturers might fund some of this research vested interests last year my fellow blogger manuelinor at ecology is not a dirty word told us about scientists calling for the land to be rid of neonics but soon after that science came out our uk secretary of state for environment food and rural affairs owen paterson at that time said there wasn t enough evidence that neonics harm bees so he assertively refused to vote for or against the ban one of mr paterson s senior staff minister of state david heath agreed neonics aren t known to harm bees in the field said mr heath i don t know which of the chemical giants are now offering to pay for science about neonics in the field but i m guessing syngenta and bayer who challenged the european ban syngenta requested an exemption for autumn sown oilseed rape brassica napus this year but soon withdrew that request perhaps they think they ll gain more by paying for evidence perhaps i m being unfair on syngenta they re proud to support british farmers and they re behind the international operation pollinator this is one of the first big issues for elizabeth truss the secretary of state who took over from mr paterson will she use her new power to act for transparent research about neonics posted in agriculture ecology horticulture knowledge transfer tagged arthropod bayer brassica

one of the banned neonics is called imidacloprid six months into the neonic ban here s new science about imidacloprid and insect eating birds in the netherlands the chemical and biotech giant bayer cropscience makes imidacloprid bayer gave info to the european food safety authority efsa about this particular product when it was licenced in 2009 for use on crops including tomatoes solanum lycopersicum apples malus domestica and sugar beet beta vulgaris subspp vulgaris for follow up discussions in 2011 bayer gave info relevant to risk assessment for operators and workers and risk to birds and mammals now efsa has been reviewing the evidence about imidacloprid here s the efsa report published at the start of july 2014 it s wordy i ll pick out some of the words about birds r isk assessments for use on apple indicated a low risk to birds including insectivorous birds two applications were considered separately result ing in some uncertainty imidacloprid is known as persistent and mobile in plants a low risk was also identified for birds consuming pelleted sugar beet seeds and for birds consuming sugar beet seedlings efsa could not agree with some of the aspects considered in some german assessments in particular with the approach for the estimation of the residues in insects that was on 2nd july this month a week later along came this dutch report about imidacloprid and insect eating birds according to this new science it s not good enough to test for acute bird poisoning imidacloprid builds up in soil water and insects and there aren t so many insects when this neonic has been used many kinds of bird rely on insects as food the scientists say our results suggest that the impact of neonicotinoids on the natural environment is even more substantial than has recently been reported and is reminiscent of the effects of persistent insecticides in the past future legislation should take into account the potential cascading effects of neonicotinoids on ecosystems i m grateful to my fellow blogger at the naturephile for drawing attention to this they don t name any particular insecticide in the past but it doesn t take a genius to work out that they

researching pesticides and gm genetically modified genetically engineered ge crops a research paper from his team was published in 2012 retracted withdrawn in 2013 and republished in 2014 here it is this is the fifth in a series of blog posts in which i comment on prof séralini s study the study was a feeding trial in which rats rattus norvegicus ate a gm maize corn zea mays called nk603 from monsanto and monsanto s weedkiller roundup active ingredient glyphosate which nk603 had been engineered to resist my fellow bloggers at retraction watch tell us how the séralini affair isn t over was the original paper peer reviewed if it were so would that make us believe it i say no it wouldn t make me believe it it wouldn t make me disbelieve it either i ve been on both ends of the peer review system the reviewed author and the reviewer peer review is done by real people with human faults but it s the best system anybody has invented now that we can see what prof séralini wrote we can think

scientist researching pesticides and gm genetically modified genetically engineered ge crops he s published a new study in which rats rattus norvegicus were exposed to the world s most popular weedkiller roundup active ingredient glyphosate for eight days it was bad news for their sperm not so much during those eight days but for months afterwards claire robinson managing editor of gmo seralini explains the new study this was the first study to measure the delayed effects of exposure to roundup on sperm in mammals from a short exposure the study s findings should raise alarm in farm workers as well as people who spray roundup for municipal authorities and even home gardeners people exposed to lower doses repeated over the long term including consumers who eat food produced with roundup and people who happen to be exposed to others spraying activities should also be concerned here s the new science in case you d like a reminder here s my blog post about how roundup and roundup ready crops work you might also want to look at the series of blog posts in which i comment on prof séralini s most famous or infamous previous study that study was a feeding trial in which rats ate a gm maize corn zea mays called nk603 from monsanto and the roundup which nk603 had been engineered to resist here in britain and no doubt in other countries too cute roundup adverts appear on our television screens roundup is easy to buy with our groceries and gardening supplies doesn t it look easy to spray a little weedkiller as i continue my series about prof séralini s rat feeding

graphic picture about the range of crop varieties available to farmers and growers in the united states a range falling and falling between 1903 and 1983 of course some of the now extinct varieties will have been weak but most of them probably would have been worth conserving we don t know what the future holds since the 1980s genetic modification gm genetic engineering has gone mainstream i don
