Application

• Removal of neonicotinoids from wastewater: A study highlighted ferrate(VI)-based oxidation processes for removing neonicotinoids, including imidacloprid, from secondary effluents, suggesting a potential method for reducing environmental contamination from these chemicals (Real et al., 2024).


• Resistance patterns in sheep blowflies: A study on in vitro insecticide resistance patterns in field strains of the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, included assessments of resistance to imidacloprid, providing insights into the development and spread of resistance in pest populations (Kotze et al., 2024).


• Synergized insecticidal toxicity and risk reduction: The development of mesoporous silica nanospheres for the co-delivery of insecticides and antibiotics was studied to enhance the insecticidal efficacy of substances like imidacloprid while minimizing their environmental impact (Lv et al., 2024).


• Alternative bio-insecticides against greenhouse pests: The efficacy of tangerine peel extracts as a bio-insecticide against Trialeurodes vaporariorum was evaluated, offering a potential alternative to chemical insecticides such as imidacloprid in agricultural pest control (Flores et al., 2024).
