Imidaclopridis a systemicinsecticidebelonging to a class of chemicals called theneonicotinoidswhich act on thecentral nervous systemof insects. The chemical works by interfering with the transmission of stimuli in the insect nervous system. Specifically, it causes a blockage of thenicotinergicneuronal pathway. By blockingnicotinic acetylcholine receptors,imidacloprid preventsacetylcholinefromtransmittingimpulses between nerves, resulting in the insect's paralysis and eventual death. It is effective on contact and via stomach action.[1]Because imidacloprid binds much more strongly to insect neuronreceptorsthan to mammal neuron receptors, thisinsecticideis more toxic to insects than to mammals.[3]

From 1999[4]through at least 2018,[5][6]imidacloprid was the most widely used insecticide in the world. Although it is now off patent, the primary manufacturer of this chemical isBayer CropScience(part ofBayer AG). It is sold under many names for many uses; it can be applied by soil injection,tree injection,application to the skin of the plant, broadcast foliar, or ground application as a granular or liquid formulation, or as a pesticide-coatedseed treatment.[7][3][8]Imidacloprid is widely used for pest control in agriculture. Other uses include application to foundations to prevent termite damage, pest control for gardens and turf, treatment of domestic pets to control fleas,[3]protection of trees from boring insects,[9]and in preservative treatment of some types of lumber products.[10]

A 2018 review by theEuropean Food Safety Authority(EFSA) concluded that most uses of neonicotinoid pesticides such as Imidacloprid represent a risk to wild bees and honeybees.[11][12]In 2022 theUnited States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) concluded that Imidacloprid is likely to adversely affect 79 percent of federally listed endangered or threatened species and 83 percent of critical habitats.[13]The pesticide has been banned for all outdoor use in the entire European Union since 2018, but has a partial approval in the U.S. and other parts of the world, where it is widely used.[14][15]

Authorized uses

[edit]

Imidacloprid is the most widely used insecticide in the world.[4][5][6]Its major uses include:

When used on plants, imidacloprid, which is systemic, is slowly taken up by plant roots and slowlytranslocatedup the plant viaxylemtissue.

United States

[edit]

Imidacloprid use in the US to 2019[18]

The estimated annual use of the compound in US agriculture is mapped by the US Geological Service and shows an increasing trend from its introduction in 1994 to 2014 when it reached 2,000,000 pounds (910,000 kg).[18]However, use from 2015 to 2019 dropped following concerns about the effect of neonicotinoid chemicals on pollinating insects.[19]In May 2019, the Environmental Protection Agency revoked approval for a number of products containing imidacloprid as part of a legal settlement, although some formulations continue to be available.[20][21]

Application to trees

[edit]

When used on trees, it can take 30–60 days to reach the top (depending on the size and height) and enter the leaves in high enough quantities to be effective. Imidacloprid can be found in the trunk, the branches, the twigs, the leaves, the leaflets, and the seeds. Many trees are wind pollinated. But others such as fruit trees, linden, catalpa, and black locust trees are bee and wind pollinated and imidacloprid would likely be found in the flowers in small quantities. Higher doses must be used to control boring insects than other types.[9]

Background

[edit]

On January 21, 1986, a patent was filed and granted on May 3, 1988, for imidacloprid in the United States (U.S. Pat. No. 4,742,060) byNihon Tokushu Noyaku SeizoK.K. of Tokyo, Japan.[22]

On March 25, 1992, Miles, Inc. (later Bayer CropScience) applied for registration of imidacloprid for turfgrass and ornamentals in the United States. On March 10, 1994, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved the registration of imidacloprid.[23]

On January 26, 2005, the Federal Register noted the establishment of the '(Pesticide Tolerances for) Emergency Exemptions' for imidacloprid. Its use was granted toHawaii (for the) use (of) this pesticide on bananas(,) and the States of Minnesota, Nebraska, and North Dakota to use (of) this pesticide on sunflower(s).[24]

Biochemistry

[edit]

Imidacloprid is asystemicinsecticide, belonging to the class ofchloronicotinylneonicotinoid insecticides. It works by interfering with the transmission of nerve impulses in insects by binding irreversibly to specific insectnicotinic acetylcholine receptors.[25]

As a systemic pesticide, imidaclopridtranslocatesor moves easily in the xylem of plants from the soil into the leaves, fruit, pollen, and nectar of a plant. Imidacloprid also exhibits excellent translaminar movement in plants and can penetrate the leaf cuticle and move readily into leaf tissue.[26]

Since imidacloprid is efficacious at very low levels (nanogram and picogram), it can be applied at lower concentrations (e.g., 0.05–0.125 lb/acre or 55–140 g/ha) than other insecticides. The availability of imidacloprid and its favorable toxicity package as compared to other insecticides on the market in the 1990s allowed the EPA to replace more toxic insecticides including the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, the organophosphorus compounds, and methylcarbamates.[27][28]

Environmental fate

[edit]

The main routes of dissipation of imidacloprid in the environment areaqueousphotolysis(half-life = 1–4 hours) and plant uptake. The major photometabolites includeimidacloprid desnitro,imidacloprid olefine,imidacloprid urea, and five minor metabolites. The end product of photodegradation is 6-chloronicotinic acid (6-CNA) and ultimately carbon dioxide. Since imidacloprid has a lowvapor pressure,it normally does notvolatilizereadily.[25]

Although imidacloprid breaks down rapidly in water in the presence of light, it remains persistent in water in the absence of light. It has a water solubility of.61 g/L, which is relatively high.[29]In the dark, at pH between 5 and 7, it breaks down very slowly, and at pH 9, the half-life is about 1 year. In soil under aerobic conditions, imidacloprid is persistent with a half-life of the order of 1–3 years. On the soil surface, the half-life is 39 days.[30]Major soil metabolites include imidacloprid nitrosimine, imidacloprid desnitro and imidacloprid urea, which ultimately degrade to 6-chloronicotinic acid, CO2,and bound residues.[16][25]6-Chloronicotinic acid is recently shown to be mineralized via a nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) pathway in a soil bacterium.[31]

In soil, imidacloprid strongly binds to organic matter. When not exposed to light, imidacloprid breaks down slowly in water, and thus has the potential to persist in groundwater for extended periods. However, in a survey of groundwater in areas of the United States which had been treated with imidacloprid for theemerald ash borer,imidacloprid was usually not detected. When detected, it was present at very low levels, mostly at concentrations less than 1 part per billion (ppb) with a maximum of 7 ppb, which are below levels of concern for human health. The detections have generally occurred in areas with porous rocky or sandy soils with little organic matter, where the risk of leaching is high — and/or where the water table was close to the surface.[32]

Based on its high water solubility (0.5-0.6 g/L) and persistence, both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and thePest Management Regulatory Agencyin Canada consider imidacloprid to have a high potential to run off into surface water and to leach into ground water and thus warn not to apply it in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.[16][25]

According to standards set by the environmental ministry of Canada, if used correctly (at recommended rates, without irrigation, and when heavy rainfall is not predicted), imidacloprid does not characteristically leach into the deeper soil layers despite its high water solubility (Rouchaud et al. 1994; Tomlin 2000; Krohn and Hellpointner 2002).[25]In a series of field trials conducted by Rouchaud et al. (1994, 1996), in which imidacloprid was applied to sugar beet plots, it was consistently demonstrated that no detectable leaching of imidacloprid to the 10–20 cm soil layer occurred. Imidacloprid was applied to a corn field in Minnesota, and no imidacloprid residues were found in sample column segments below the 0–15.2 cm depth segment (Rice et al. 1991, as reviewed in Mulye 1995).[16][25]

However, a 2012 water monitoring study by the state of California, performed by collecting agricultural runoff during the growing seasons of 2010 and 2011, found imidacloprid in 89% of samples, with levels ranging from 0.1 to 3.2 μg/L. 19% of the samples exceeded the EPA threshold for chronic toxicity for aquatic invertebrates of 1.05 μg/L. The authors also point out that Canadian and European guidelines are much lower (0.23 μg/L and 0.067 μg/L, respectively) and were exceeded in 73% and 88% of the samples, respectively. The authors concluded that "imidacloprid commonly moves offsite and contaminates surface waters at concentrations that could harm aquatic invertebrates".[33]

Health effects

[edit]

The effects of imidacloprid on human health depend on the dose, duration, and frequency of exposure. The effects may also depend on the health of a person and environmental factors. People who might orally ingest acute amounts would experienceemesis,diaphoresis,drowsinessanddisorientation.This would need to be intentional since a large amount would need to be ingested to experience a toxic reaction.[3]

Toxicology

[edit]

Based on laboratory rat studies, imidacloprid is rated as "moderately toxic" on an acute oral basis to mammals and low toxicity on a dermal basis by theWorld Health Organizationand theUnited States Environmental Protection Agency(class II or III, requiring a "Warning" or "Caution" label). It is rated as an "unlikely"carcinogenand as weakly mutagenic by the U.S. EPA (group E). It is not listed forreproductiveordevelopmentaltoxicity, but is listed on EPA's Tier 1 Screening Order for chemicals to be tested under the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP).[23][34]Tolerances for imidacloprid residues in food range from 0.02 mg/kg in eggs to 3.0 mg/kg inhops.[1]

Mammals

[edit]

Imidacloprid and its nitrosoimine metabolite (WAK 3839) have been well studied in rats, mice and dogs.

In dogs the LD50is 450 mg/kg of body weight (i.e., in any sample of medium-sized dogs weighing 13 kilograms (29 lb), half of them would be killed after consuming 5,850 mg of imidacloprid, or about1⁄5th of an ounce). TheacuteinhalationLD50in rats was not reached at the greatest attainable concentrations, 69 milligrams per cubic meter of air as an aerosol, and 5,323 mg a.i./m3of air as dust.

In mammals, the primary effects following acute high-dose oral exposure to imidacloprid are mortality, transient cholinergic effects (dizziness, apathy, locomotor effects, labored breathing) and transient growth retardation. Exposure to high doses may be associated with degenerative changes in the testes, thymus, bone marrow and pancreas. Cardiovascular and hematological effects have also been observed at higher doses.

The primary effects of longer term, lower-dose exposure to imidacloprid are on the liver, thyroid, and body weight (reduction). Low- to mid-dose oral exposures have been associated with reproductive toxicity, developmental retardation and neurobehavioral deficits in rats and rabbits. Imidacloprid is neither carcinogenic in laboratory animals nor mutagenic in standard laboratory assays.[35]

It is not irritating to eyes or skin inrabbitsandguinea pigs.[1]

Bees

[edit]
See also:Pesticide toxicity to beesandColony collapse disorder

Imidacloprid is acutely toxic to honeybees: its LD50ranges from 5 to 70 nanograms per bee.[36]Honeybee colonies vary in their ability to metabolize toxins, which explains this wide range. Imidacloprid is more toxic to bees than theorganophosphatedimethoate(oral LD50152 ng/bee) or thepyrethroidcypermethrin(oral LD50160 ng/bee).[36]The toxicity of imidacloprid to bees differs from most insecticides in that it is more toxic orally than by contact. The contactacuteLD50is 0.024 μg active ingredient per bee.[37]

In laboratory studies, sublethal levels of imidacloprid have been shown to impair navigation, foraging behavior, feeding behavior, and olfactory learning performance in honeybees (Apis mellifera).[36][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]In general, however, despite the fact that many laboratory studies have shown the potential for neonicotinoid toxicity, the majority of field studies have found only limited or no effects on honeybees.[45]

In bumblebees, exposure to 10 ppb imidacloprid reduces natural foraging behaviour, increases worker mortality and leads to reduced brood development.[46][47]The probable mechanism is that the mevalonate pathway is substantially downregulated by the chronic imidacloprid exposure, which can help to explain the imidacloprid impairment of the cognitive functions.[48]

Birds

[edit]

Imidacloprid is considered acutely toxic to birds, and to cause avian reproductive toxicity.[25]

Inbobwhite quail(Colinus virginianus), imidacloprid was determined to be moderately toxic with an 14-dayLD50of 152 mg a.i./kg. It was slightly toxic in a 5-day dietary study with an acute oral LC50of 1,420 mg a.i./kg diet, aNOAECof < 69 mg a.i./kg diet, and a LOAEC = 69 mg a.i./kg diet. Exposed birds exhibited ataxia, wing drop, opisthotonos, immobility, hyperactivity, fluid-filled crops and intestines, and discolored livers. In a reproductive toxicity study with bobwhite quail, the NOAEC = 120 mg a.i./kg diet and theLOAEC= 240 mg a.i./kg diet. Eggshell thinning and decreased adult weight were observed at 240 mg a.i./kg diet.[23][25]

Imidacloprid is highly toxic to four bird species: Japanese quail, house sparrow, canary, and pigeon. The acute oral LD50forJapanese quail(Coturnix coturnix) is 31 mg a.i./kg bw with a NOAEL = 3.1 mg a.i./kg. The acute oral LD50forhouse sparrow(Passer domesticus) is 41 mg a.i./kg bw with a NOAEL = 3 mg a.i./kg and a NOAEL = 6 mg a.i./kg. The LD50s forpigeon(Columba livia) and canary (Serinus canaria) are 25–50 mg a.i./kg.Mallardducks are more resistant to the effects of imidacloprid with a 5-day dietary LC50of > 4,797 ppm. The NOAEC for body weight and feed consumption is 69 mg a.i./kg diet. Reproductive studies with mallard ducks showed eggshell thinning at 240 mg a.i./kg diet.[23][25]

According to the European Food Safety Authority, imidacloprid poses a potential high acute risk for bothherbivorousandinsectivorousbirds.[28]Chronic risk has not been well established.[25]

A 2014 observational study conducted in the Netherlands correlated declines in some bird populations with environmental imidacloprid residues, although it stopped short of concluding that the association was causal.[49]

Aquatic life

[edit]

Imidacloprid is highly toxic on anacutebasis to aquaticinvertebrates,withEC50values = 0.037 - 0.115 ppm. It is also highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates on achronicbasis (effects on growth and movement):NOAEC/LOAEC= 1.8/3.6 ppm indaphnids;NOAEC = 0.001 inChironomusmidge, and NOAEC/LOAEC = 0.00006/0.0013 ppm inmysid shrimp.

Its toxicity to fish is relatively low;[1]however, the EPA has requested review of secondary effects on fish withfood chainsthat include sensitive aquatic invertebrates.[16]Research published in 2018 demonstrated accumulation of imidacloprid in the blood of rainbow trout, contradicting claims from Bayer that persistence (bioaccumulation) does not occur with imidacloprid.[50][51]

Plant life

[edit]

Imidacloprid has been shown to turn off some genes that some rice varieties use to produce defensive chemicals. While imidacloprid is used for control of the brown planthopper and other rice pests, there is evidence that imidacloprid actually increases the susceptibility of the rice plant to planthopper infestation and attacks.[52] Imidacloprid has been shown to increase the rate of photosynthesis in upland cotton at temperatures above 36 degrees Celsius (97 degrees Fahrenheit).[53]

Regulation

[edit]

European Union

[edit]
See also:Neonicotinoid § European Union

In the mid to late 1990s, French beekeepers reported a significant loss of bees, which they attributed to the use of imidacloprid.[citation needed]In 1999, the French Minister of Agriculture suspended the use of imidacloprid on sunflower seeds and appointed a team of expert scientists to examine the impact of imidacloprid on bees. In 2003, this panel issued a report which concluded that imidacloprid posed a significant risk to bees.[54]In 2004, the French Minister of Agriculture suspended the use of imidacloprid as a seed treatment for sunflowers and maize (corn). Certain imidacloprid seed treatments were also temporarily banned in Italy, following preliminary monitoring studies that identified correlations between bee losses and the use of neonicotinoid pesticides.[55]

In January 2013, aEuropean Food Safety Authority(EFSA) report concluded that neonicotinoids posed an unacceptably high risk to bees: "A high acute risk to honey bees was identified from exposure via dust drift for the seed treatment uses in maize, oilseed rape and cereals. A high acute risk was also identified from exposure via residues in nectar and/or pollen."[28]The EFSA also identified a number of gaps in the scientific evidence and were unable to finalize risk assessments for some uses authorized in theEuropean Union(EU). Following the report, EU member states voted to restrict the use of the three main neonics, including imidacloprid, for seed treatment, soil application (granules) andfoliartreatment in crops attractive to bees.[56]

In February 2018, theEuropean Food Safety Authoritypublished a further report concluding thatneonicotinoidsposed a serious danger tobees.[28]In April 2018, the member states of the EU decided to ban the neonicotinoids for all outdoor uses.[57]

United States

[edit]

On July 1, 2022, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States banned commercial sales of imidacloprid and other neonicotinoids –acetamiprid,clothianidin,dinotefuran,thiacloprid,andthiamethoxam– to the general public for all outdoor uses.[58]Licensed dealers will be able to sell only to pesticide-licensed and certified individuals. The states of Maryland, Connecticut and Vermont also restrict use of neonicotinoid pesticides.[59]

Registrations

[edit]

Imidacloprid is sold under several brand names, including Confidor (Bayer CropScience India),[60]Marathon (OHP, US).[61][62]
