Insecticide Seed Treatments: Efficacy, Mode of Action & Stewardship
 

Neonicotinoid seed treatments have been a part of US field crops production for almost 20 years. This presentation will highlight research into what we know about the pro’s and con’s of this approach, including how/where seed treatments are most efficacious in preserving yield and whether concerns of non-target impacts are relevant.
