The Value of Neonicotinoids in North America:
This report series, researched and produced by AgInfomatics, LLC, is a comprehensive analysis of the economic and societal benefits of nitroguanidine neonicotinoid insecticides (clothianidin, dinotefuran, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam) in North America. Bayer CropScience, Syngenta and Valent sponsored the research in support of regulatory review processes in the United States and Canada, with Mitsui providing additional support for the turf and ornamental studies.
AgInfomatics, an agricultural consulting firm established in 1995, conducted an ex ante, independent analyses exploring answers to the question: What would happen if neonicotinoids were no longer available? Robust quantitative and qualitative study methods were used to compare the answer to that question with current product use. The difference between the hypothetical and the real (i.e., a counterfactual analysis) provides important insights on the value of neonicotinoids. Techniques employed included econometric modeling of insecticide use, meta-analysis of small plot crop yield, multi-market equilibrium analysis, and surveys of growers, professional applicators and consumers. These quantitative methods were guided from insights gained through regional listening panel sessions and in-depth case studies.
AgInfomatics is currently engaged in a similar analysis of the value of pyrethroids in agricultural, urban, and human health setting to support a review of these products by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Staff in AgInfomatics can be contacted at aginfomatics@gmail.com.
Reports include both agricultural crops (series A), ornamentals and turf (series T) and Canadian specific (series C). Scroll down the page for PDF downloads:
