| Abstract: |
| In order to assess the risk of imidacloprid exposure to honey bees, a wettable powder with 10% imidacloprid active ingredient was sprayed during the tea flowering period in a greenhouse covered with fly net. Residues of imidacloprid and its metabolites were detected in bee pollens, and an exposure assessment was carried out. The risk quotient of spray application(RQsp) showed that the acute contact risk was unacceptable. The exposure toxicity ratios(ETRs) showed that the risk of adult chronic exposure was also unacceptable for residues in pollen collected during 0~13 days after application, while the acute oral risk was acceptable. Moreover, it was observed that the risk after imidacloprid application was mainly due to the parent residue, while its metabolites accounted for less than 2% of the overall risk. Based on the assessment results and the limitations of the present experiment, further trials are necessary to more precisely understand the risk to honey bees of imidacloprid application on tea. |
