Thiamethoxam banned for use in the UK
QTS Analytical - A Tentamus Company
(PresseBox) - Thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid pesticide, was banned for use by both the UK and the EU back in 2018 due to the adverse effects on bee populations and other pollinators. In recent years it had been approved in the UK for emergency use due to the presence of yellow virus.
Growers of sugar beet in particular were seeing much lower yields of crop due to the presence of yellow virus and as such the substance was given emergency approval for use, this approval has now been revoked ? which means thiamethoxam once again ends up on the list of banned pesticides and is no longer authorised for use in the UK.
The decision was made after analysis revealed that although there is still likely to be damage to crop, the level of damage is considered below the level at which use of the pesticide becomes justified.
Monitoring of the effects of neonicotinoid pesticides has been ongoing for a number of years now ? the effects on pollinators in particular is what initially raised concerns as dwindling numbers would effect crop production in a serious way.
