Canada updates neonicotinoid assessments
Feb. 6, 2017
The Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) expects to issue pollinator risk assessments and proposed re-evaluation decisions for the neonicotinoid insecticides, clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam,by the end of this year. Pollinator risk assessments for clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam, along with the proposed re-evaluation decisions, will be published by December 2017 for public consultation.
Background
These re-evaluations consider all outdoor and agricultural uses of these neonicotinoid insecticides including soil and foliar applications, seed treatments, and greenhouse and tree injection uses. Both short and long term effects of various exposures are being considered to honey bees and native bees (such as bumblebees).
