Overview: Risk factors and historic levels of pressure from insect pests of seedling corn, cotton, soybean, and wheat in the United States
Open accessAbstract
Abstract The use of neonicotinoid insecticides in the United States has grown by about a factor of four since the mid-2000s. Seed treatments account for a significant fraction of overall insecticide application to crops, and a large proportion of major U.S. crops are now planted using seed treated with neonicotinoids. Neonicotinoid insecticidal seed treatments are primarily intended to protect crops against sporadic or minor early-season pests. A better understanding of factors that influence the risk of economic infestations and extent of crop damage by sporadic pests is needed to target neonicotinoid insecticidal seed treatments use based on expected pest pressure. In a series of papers, we review the distribution, ecology, and historical management of seed and seedling pests targeted by neonicotinoid seed treatments in U.S. corn (Zea mays), soybean (Glycine max), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). This information is key to region-specific management practices that reduce the risks and increase the benefits of neonicotinoid seed treatments.

The use of seed treated with various neonicotinoids has become pervasive in several field crops in the USA and potentially negates to some degree the reduction in insecticides possible through the deployment of Bt crops.
“The use of seed treated with various neonicitinoids has become pervasive in several field crops in the USA (Douglas and Tooker, 2015;Papiernik et al., 2018) and potentially negates to some degree the reduction in insecticides possible through the deployment of Bt crops.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
