▶ Watch: Neonicotinoid Insecticides: Widespread Use and Emerging Impacts on Agricultural Landscapes

Neonicotinoids, or “neonics,” are neurotoxic insecticides targeting insect central nervous systems. As the most widely used insecticides in Wisconsin, they are applied to millions of acres of agricultural and urban land. This webinar examines the growing body of research on the unintended harms of neonics, their agricultural efficacy, and their prevalence in the environment. Hear from Dr. Russell Groves, Researcher and Extension specialist in the Department of Entomology at UW-Madison and Dr. Shawn Conley, State Soybean and Small Grain Specialist at UW-Madison.
