Insecticide Clothianidin Poses Risks to Plants

Nature · science

Clothianidin (CLO), a common neonicotinoid insecticide, presents potential risks to non-target plant species. Its multidimensional toxicity profile requires further investigation. This study examines the toxic effects of environmentally present clothianidin. Understanding these impacts is crucial for assessing the broader ecological consequences of widespread insecticide use on plant life and agricultural ecosystems.
