Wisconsin Neonicotinoid Workgroup
About Us
Neonicotinoids, or neonics, are commonly used pesticides in agricultural and urban environments. They can be used in a variety of ways, such as seed treatments, soil treatments, foliar sprays, and topical applications. They impact a wide range of insects and other invertebrates, while being comparatively non-toxic to humans and other mammals. Recent research has shown that neonics have spread throughout our environment beyond their area of application, impacting our ecosystems and raising concerns about possible health impacts.The goal of this group is to support effective decision-making by fostering collaboration among researchers, conservation groups, agricultural operators and professionals, and the general public.
