(Beyond Pesticides,<\/em> April 4, 2016) Pesticides widely used in rice paddies in Japan are harming \u00a0dragonflies.

\"Blue_Dragonfly_Iski_Vingart\"The study, titled Fipronil application on rice paddy fields reduces densities of common skimmer and scarlet skimmer<\/a> \u00a0and published in the journal Scientific Reports<\/em>, investigated the impact of neonicotinoids, which have been linked to bee die-offs<\/a> around the world, and chlorantraniliprole, which, like neonicotinoids and fipronil, is a systemic pesticide that is taken up by the plant and subsequently expressed in pollen, nectar, and guttation droplets. Plankton species were adversely \u00a0affected by clothianidin<\/a>, a neonicotinoid, and chlorantraniliprole<\/a>, but they recovered after concentrations of the chemicals decreased.<\/p>\n

Koichi Goka, Ph.D., a senior researcher at the institute, said nymphs living near the soil are particularly vulnerable to toxic chemicals, according to The Asahi Shimbun<\/em>. \u201cThe density of insecticidal components in the water drops quickly after they are dissolved,\u201d Goka said. \u201cBut such components long remain in the soil. Nymphs at the bottom of water could have been affected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Goka is calling for more testing in outdoor facilities to assess the risks of agricultural chemicals.<\/p>\n

Dragonflies and other pollinators are under constant threat from the widespread use of pesticides. A study published in March 2016 found over 50 different types of pesticides in honey bees<\/a>, including neonicotinoids, pyrethroids, and fipronil, while investigating over 70 honey bee poisoning events. A 2013 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences<\/em> found that pesticide use has sharply reduced the regional biodiversity of stream invertebrates<\/a>, such as mayflies and dragonflies, thus posing a long-term threat to important ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Plan to attend \u00a0Cultivating Community and Environmental Health, \u00a0<\/em>the 34th<\/sup> \u00a0National Pesticide Forum<\/a>, April 15-16, 2016 in Portland, ME to discuss pollinators and other local and national environmental concerns. \u00a0Jonathan Lundgren, Ph.D., a senior USDA entomologist \u00a0will join other top scientists and leaders who have stood up to protect human and environmental health, despite facing industry backlash and scientific suppression. Dr. Lundgren\u2019s research on the harm that \u00a0neonicotinoids<\/a> \u00a0pose to monarch butterflies reflects a \u00a0growing scientific consensus<\/a> \u00a0that these chemicals present significant risks to declining pollinator populations. Registration, which includes access to all sessions as well as organic food and beverages, is $45 for grassroots activists, and $25 for students. \u00a0Register online<\/a> \u00a0today.<\/p>\n

Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17811"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17811\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17818,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17811\/revisions\/17818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
