DEFRA awarded a contract to RSK ADAS Limited for the assessment of neonicotinoid degradation and movement into field margins.

The project aimed to better understand the environmental risk posed by the use of Cruiser SB following emergency authorisation.

Cruiser SB, which contains a banned neonicotinoid pesticide, was approved for emergency use on sugar beet in 2022, with conditions including monitoring of treated fields to ensure restrictions were adhered to and to assess environmental risk.

Further monitoring was recommended to assess pesticide degradation rates, continued risk over time, and to confirm no continued residue build-up or transfer into field margins over a longer period.

The contract value was £49,330.
