Study provides the first evidence that a broadly used pesticide alone can harm bee flight

“Managing crop pests without fully understanding the impacts of tactics—related to resistance and nontarget plants or insects—costs producers money,” researcher says

University of Notre Dame lab has been developing a novel class of larvicides known as Yeast Interfering Larvicides that kill nearly 100 percent of larvae in a laboratory setting

The numbers of mosquitoes that do survive pesticide use are small

New insights offer new targets for controlling these pests

Information provides a new perspective when trying to fully understand the trade-offs involved when deciding whether to use insecticide

The two-year project assessed insect populations in cornfields on 53 farms in eastern South Dakota

A novel insecticide targets a specific gene in a pest, killing only that bug species on crops and avoiding collateral damage to beneficial insects caused by today’s pesticides.

“Just mentioning bees and pesticides in the same sentence is sure to get a buzz,” said Angus Catchot, an entomologist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service.

Scientists recreate natural insect repellent.
