Nope. It is field realistic or it isn't.
If you want to test safety you have to do it under field realistic conditions.
Who picks nits these days? Just get those neonics on them!
Would you ban cars if it could be proven that exhaust fumes took on average a few days from the average lifespan of every human?
You need to get real about risk. It is all around us and can never be eliminated 100%
I don't disagree with that, but you need to have a viable alternative for things like pollen beetle on oil seed rape, preferably one which is not more harmful to bees and other pollinators than the neonicotinoid seed treatment.we really don't need to treat every seed, every year with systemic poisons
What do you suggest?
We've stopped growing OSR in Orkney because it's such a rubbish crop.
It is profitable elsewhere though or farmers would not grow it. Orkney is marginal for a lot of crops.
