Topic: Imidacloprid


In the News (Sun 20 Dec 09)

  
  Imidacloprid
Imidacloprid is a General Use Pesticide, and is classified by EPA as both a toxicity class II and class III agent, and must be labeled with the signal word "Warning" or "Caution" (1).
Imidacloprid is considered to be of minimal carcinogenic risk, and is thus categorized by EPA as a "Group E" carcinogen (evidence of noncarcinogenicity for humans).
Imidacloprid is quickly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and eliminated via urine and feces (70-80% and 20-30%, respectively, of the 96% of the parent compound administered within 48 hours).

  Imidacloprid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imidacloprid is notable for its relatively low toxicity to most animals other than insects, due to its specificity for the type of sensory receptor which is found more often in insect nervous systems than that of other animals (exceptions exist; certain species of fish, for example).
One use of Imidacloprid is as a seed insecticide.
Imidacloprid is a very toxic insecticide (very quick and effective on insects), and is highly persistent in the crop.

 EXTOXNET PIP - IMIDACLOPRID
Imidacloprid based insecticide formu-lations are available as dustable powder, granular, seed dressing (flowable slurry concentrate), soluble concentrate, suspension concentrate, and wettable powder (223).
Carcinogenic Effects: Imidacloprid is considered to be of minimal carcinogenic risk, and is thus categorized by EPA as a "Group E" carcinogen (evidence of noncarcinogenicity for humans).
Imidacloprid is degraded stepwise to the primary metabolite 6-chloronicotinic acid, which eventually breaks down into carbon dioxide (336).

 Imidacloprid - Expert overview - Bayer
The reproductive toxicity of imidacloprid was investigated in a two-generation study in rats and in developmental toxicity studies in rats and rabbits.
In the case of imidacloprid it was proven beyond doubt that persistence of residues in soil due to repetitive application over several years; translocation into deeper soil horizons, groundwater, adjacent crops or surface waters; volatilisation; and transport through the air into other regions can be ruled out.
Though imidacloprid is not intended to be applied directly in water, it nevertheless may enter water bodies due to spray drift or in extreme situations by runoff from treated fields after rainfall.
