“…However, these two chemicals are not without controversy. Imidacloprid and dinotefuran are both neonicotinoid-class chemicals [81,82]. Neonicotinoids are controversial for use in forest and agricultural settings due to high toxicity to bees.…”

Thousand Cankers Disease (TCD) is a disease complex wherein the fungus (Geosmithia morbida) is vectored by the walnut twig beetle (WTB, Pityophthorus juglandis). The disease causes mortality primarily of eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra), although other walnut and wingnut (Pterocarya) species are also susceptible. Black walnut is native to the Eastern and Midwestern U.S. but is widely planted in western states. Total standing volume in both urban and forested settings is approximately 96 million cubic meters, and is valued at $539 billion. Although native to the Southwestern U.S., the range of WTB has expanded considerably. The spread of G. morbida coincides with that of WTB. TCD was introduced into Tennessee in 2010, and has spread to seven eastern states. Trees infected with TCD exhibit drought-like symptoms, making field detection difficult without molecular and/or morphological methods. The recently sequenced G. morbida genome will provide valuable research tools focused on understanding gene interactions between organisms involved in TCD and mechanisms of pathogenicity. With no chemical treatments available, quarantine and sanitation are preeminent options for slowing the spread of TCD, although biological control agents have been discovered. High levels of black walnut mortality due to TCD will have far-reaching implications for both eastern and western states.

“…Since imidacloprid (1) was introduced to the Japanese market in 1992, this new class has now a 15z share of the world insecticide market. [1][2][3] One of the factors that is raising chloronicotinyls to a new major insecticide class is its new insecticidal target with highly intrinsic insecticidal potency.…”

“…However, the alleged efficiency of imidacloprid against a broad range of insect-pests, such as defoliators, thrips, and whiteflies (Orozco et al 1995, Elbert et al 1998, was not observed in our investigation, probably due to the environmental conditions of our experiment, which was carried out in a tropical area during the rainy season. Despite this particularity, imidacloprid was shown not to affect whiteflies and the thrips Frankliniella sp (Zhao et al 1995, Horowitz et al 1998).…”

“…A large range of compounds is used with this objective, but neonicotinoid imidacloprid has been widely used by common bean growers (Andrei 1999). This systemic insecticide acts by interfering with the chemical signal transmission after ingestion and/or contact by binding to the nicotinergic acetylcholine receptor in the insect nervous system (Abbink 1991, Muchembled 1991, Elbert et al 1998. Imidacloprid is reported to have a low residual effect and to be selective for intented targets, but selectivity studies have been carried out for very few species and the overall community effects of this compound have not been studied yet.…”

Neotropical Entomology 32(2): 335-342 (2003) Impacto do Imidaclopride em Artrópodes Associados ao Dossel do Feijoeiro RESUMO -O presente trabalho objetivou verificar o efeito temporal e espacial da aplicação do inseticida imidaclopride na comunidade de artrópodos associados ao dossel do feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris). Cerca de dois hectares de feijoeiro foram divididos em duas partes. Ambas receberam as mesmas práticas culturais, exceto pela aplicação do inseticida. Imidaclopride 700 GrDA (147 g i.a/ha) foi aplicado aos 20 dias de idade das plantas. Foram traçados três transectos abrangendo as áreas pulverizadas e não-pulverizadas. Cada transecto foi composto por nove pontos amostrais eqüidistantes 10 m. Amostrou-se a parte aérea das plantas antes da aplicação e aos 3, 8, 14, 22, 29 37 e 44 dias após a aplicação do imidaclopride. Verificou-se efeito temporal do inseticida em algumas guildas de artrópodos, mas o efeito espacial da aplicação do inseticida foi verificado apenas para Empoasca kraemeri Roos & Moore, onde a dispersão da área não-tratada mascarou o efeito do inseticida sobre a área tratada. O inseticida afetou as populações de Thrips tabaci (Lind.), Caliothrips brasiliensis (Morgan) e E. kraemeri, mantendo-as em baixos níveis até 22 dias após a aplicação. Imidaclopride também preveniu o incremento de Collembola, não apresentando, porém, efeito significativo sobre insetos mastigadores, Frankliniella sp., Liriomyza spp. e Bemisia tabaci (Genn.). Imidaclopride foi seletivo, não afetando predadores e parasitóides comumente associados às pragas do feijoeiro. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Insecta, neonicotinóide, impacto ambiental, Phaseolus vulgarisABSTRACT -The present work aimed at assessing the temporal and spatial effect of applying the insecticide imidacloprid on the arthropod community associated with the canopy of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). About 2 ha of bean field was divided into two adjacent fields subjected to the same crop management practices except for insecticide application. Imidacloprid 700 GrDA (147 g a.i./ha) was applied to 20-day old plants. Three transects were extended from the mid-part of the sprayed area to the mid-part of the non-sprayed area. Nine sampling points 10 m apart were established in each transect. Arthropods were sampled from the plant canopy before and 3, 8, 14, 22, 29 37 and 44 days after insecticide application. There was a strong temporal effect of the insecticide on some arthropod guilds, but the spatial effect of the insecticide application was only noticeable in Empoasca kraemeri Roos & Moore whose dispersion from the non-sprayed area masked the insecticide effect on the treated area. The insecticide decreased the Thrips tabaci (Lind.), Caliothrips brasiliensis (Morgan), and E. kraemeri populations until 22 days after its application. Imidacloprid also prevented population increase of springtails (Collembola), but it did not significantly affect plant-chewing insects nor Frankliniella sp., Liriomyza spp. and Bemisia (Genn.). Imidacloprid was selective in favor of the...
