Scotsman article today on some work by Dr. Connolly.

This should be of interest to all: http://www.scotsman.com/news/environ...land-1-2807966

The statement that farmers are required to record all pesticide treatments on their land, but nobody seems to collate the information,so it is not available when conducting research, is quite telling.

In my view, no farmers should be allowed to put biocides on their land without a demonstrable need. Sounds draconian, but it's necessary to avoid farmland becoming a sterile green desert.
