Byline: Karen Dent THE NFU is calling for an independent and comprehensive assessment of the impact of neonicotinoid pesticides on honey bees after the chemicals were implicated in a report by insect charity Buglife. Three of these four genes belong to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene families [19] which are the known targets of insecticides, neonicotinoids [20], as well as naturally derived spinisyns [21]. The plan includes the prohibition of the use of neonicotinoid pesticides on own brand fresh produce; a commitment of [pounds sterling]150,000 for research into the causes of the decline in bee numbers and empowering its three million members to take action in their own gardens, for example through the giveaway of over 300,000 packets of wildflower seeds. |
