Crops will be harmed by fungi, pests and weeds during their growth. In the past half century,
scientists have conducted in-depth research on natural products extracted from …

Systemic insecticides, such as neonicotinoids, are a major contributor towards beneficial
insect declines. This has led to bans and restrictions on neonicotinoid use globally, most …

The honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) is an important pollinator and a model for pesticide effects
on insect pollinators. The effects of agricultural pesticides on honeybee health have …

Agriculture is confronted with enormous challenges, from production of enough high‐quality
food to water use, environmental impacts and issues combined with a continually growing …

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 …

The assessment of pesticide risks to insect pollinators have typically focused on short-term,
lethal impacts. The environmental ramifications of many of the world's most commonly …

Abstract Flupyradifurone (FPF, Sivanto®) is a new butenolide insecticide that, like the
neonicotinoids, is a systemic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist. However …

Due to intensive agriculture honeybees are threatened by various pesticides. The use of one
group of them, the neonicotinoids, was recently restricted by the European Union. These …

Novel insecticides are continuously being developed for application in response to
increased legal restriction of previously developed insecticides and resistance in target …

Flupyradifurone, a novel butenolide insecticide, selectively targets insect nicotinic
acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), comparable to structurally different insecticidal …
