An emergency application for the use of a neonicotinoid pesticide on sugar beet in England has not been granted.
This is the first time in 5 years that an emergency authorisation of Cruiser SB –(neonicotinoid thiamethoxam) has not been approved for use on sugar beet.

Last year, Vermont became the second state in the nation to ban pesticides called neonicotinoids.
Many farmers use neonic-treated seeds to keep pests away, but they are toxic to pollinators like honey bees.

Vermont's first neonics restrictions go into effect
The state has implemented a ban — with some exemptions — on pesticides called neonicotinoids. The new policy will impact farmers, landscapers, and pollinators.

Today, the UK Government made the only sensible choice - listening to the science and upholding the ban on neonicotinoids.
This pesticide doesn’t belong in our countryside. Farmers now need support to adopt nature-friendly alternatives.

Just 1 teaspoon of neonicotinoids can kill 1.25 BILLION bees.
Yesterday, over 1 million voices told the UK Government: stop allowing banned pesticides in our countryside.
DEFRA, it’s time to end ‘emergency’ use.

Though their impact on insects is well known, the consensus for many years was that birds suffered relatively little from #neonicotinoid toxicity.
