Planting corn has begun! If you are planting corn treated with a neonicotinoid insecticide, make sure you are using best practices to minimize any movement of the seed treatment to off-target sites. Neonicotinoids can be extremely toxic to insects and even the dust created during planting can negatively impact beneficial insect populations like natural insect enemies and pollinators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what can you do to mitigate potential neonicotinoid harm?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Contact your local beekeepers with the time you plan on planting your NTS with enough time for beekeepers to relocate any nearby hives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Follow American Seed Trade Association and CropLife America safety regulations found in The Guide to Seed Treatment Stewardship: https:\/\/seed-treatment-guide.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Learn about risk management and target NTS pests like seedcorn maggot and wireworm with the factsheets below and watch the Managing Neonicotinoids in Row Crops webinar series.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
