Nosema and Neonicotinoid Pesticides Act Synergistically to Kill Honeybees

Prof. Joe Cummins presents evidence that parasitic fungi can kill insects when low, otherwise non-lethal concentrations of pesticides are present

The neonicotinoid insecticides used to dress seeds are systematic, and accumulate in plant parts including the flowers. Hence honeybees collecting pollen will become exposed to the pesticide, and become more susceptible to fungal pathogens. The parasitic fungus, Nosema ceranae, a single celled parasite was indeed found in CCD-affected bee hives from around the USA.

Imidacloprid maakt schimmels 10000x gevaarlijker voor termieten

De producent prijst het product Premise 200SC (werkzame stof imidacloprid) dat wordt ingezet tegen termieten als volgt aan:

"NEW - Premise 200SC

What is Premise 200SC plus Nature?

Low doses of Premise 200SC, such as the edge of the Treated Zone, disoriented the termites and cause them to cease their natural grooming behaviour. Grooming is important for termites to protect them against pathogenic soil fungi. When termites stop grooming, the naturally occuring fungi in the soil attack and kill the termites. Premise 200SC makes fungi 10,000 times more dangerous to termites. Nature assists Premise in giving unsurpassed control. This control is called Premise 200SC plus Nature.

Premise 200SC containing the active ingredient imidacloprid, belong to new chloronicotinyl group of chemicals."

Dit is consistent met de bevindingen van Joe Cummins
