巴西当局最终推翻了7月份禁止空中喷施基于4种新烟碱类杀虫剂产品的预防性禁令。由于担心会对蜜蜂产生不利影响,此前环保部门Iba-ma发布了对基于吡虫啉、噻虫嗪、噻虫胺和氟虫腈农药产品的喷洒禁令(《Agrow》第645期第16页)。作为规范空中喷药的主管部门,农业部以及Ibama允许上述产品有条件用于大豆和甘蔗,除授权外,可以在2013年6月30日前无条件地用于大米和小麦。 Brazilian authorities eventually overturned a preventive ban that was banned from airborne spraying on the basis of four neonicotinoid insecticide products in July. Iba-ma, the environmental agency, has previously issued a ban on spraying pesticides based on imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, and fipronil (“Agrow” No. 645, p. 16), fearing a negative impact on bees. As an authority regulating airborne spraying, the Ministry of Agriculture and Ibama allow the above products to be used conditionally on soybeans and sugarcane, except for authorizations, to be used unconditionally in rice and wheat until June 30, 2013.
