Ua ʻōlelo ʻo EPA i nā neonicotinoids e hōʻeha i ka nalo
Ua haʻi kūhelu ka Environmental Protection Agency i ka imidacloprid, kekahi o nā papa pesticides i kapa ʻia ʻo neonicotinoids, he mea pōʻino i ka nalo. Ua ʻike ʻia kahi loiloi EPA ua ʻike ʻia nā pi i ka pesticide i ka nui o ka hoʻopōʻino iā lākou i ka wā e pollinating ai i ka pulupulu a me nā mea kanu citrus.
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka ʻōlelo a EPA, "Preliminary Pollinator Assessment Supporting Registration Review of Imidacloprid," ma aneʻi. Kūkākūkā ʻia nā ʻano hoʻohālikelike ma aneʻi.
Ua hoʻohewa ka mea hana pesticide Bayer i ka loiloi i ka wā i paʻi ʻia ai akā ua hoʻololi ʻia ka pahu i hoʻokahi pule wale nō ma hope, e ʻōlelo ana e hana pū me ka Environmental Protection Agency. ʻO ka hui, ʻoiai e ʻike ana ua ʻōlelo ka hōʻike i ka pōʻino i ka pi a ʻaʻole nā kolone, ke hoʻomau nei ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana ʻaʻole ka pesticide ke kumu o ka Colony Collapse Disorder.
Ua hoʻohana ʻo Bayer i $12 miliona i ka '2014, he pittance i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā loaʻa o ka ʻoi aku ma mua o $ 3.6 biliona akā ʻoi aku ka nui o ka huina, e kūʻē i nā manaʻo e pepehi nā kinikini i ka nalo, hōʻike ʻo Emery P. Dalecio o ka Associated Press. ʻO kā lākou pahuhopu ka hoʻohuli ʻana i ka manaʻo i ka varroa mite ke kumu o ka make ʻana o ka nalo.
Ua ʻōlelo kekahi mau hōʻike e komo ka nalo i nā pae ʻino o nā lāʻau pesticides i ka pollinate i ka paka, ke kulina a me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe. Ua ʻōlelo kekahi ʻōlelo a EPA e pono e hōʻiliʻili ʻia nā ʻikepili hou aʻe e loiloi i nā hopena i ka soybeans, nā hua waina a me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe kahi i hoʻohana ʻia ai ka imidacloprid.
ʻO ke koʻikoʻi o ka nalo meli a me nā pollinators ʻē aʻe i ka hana ʻana i ka meaʻai, ka nui a me ka liʻiliʻi, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia, ʻaʻole e haʻi i ke kaiapuni holoʻokoʻa.
Ua ʻōlelo ka Environment Protection Agency e ʻimi ʻo ia i ka manaʻo o ka lehulehu ma mua o ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ka hana e hoʻokau i nā pāpā kūikawā i ka imidacloprid. Eia ka pūnaewele manaʻo EPA (ʻaʻole loaʻa ka loulou). Pono lākou e lohe mai nā kamaʻāina a me nā poʻe akamai, ʻoiai ʻo kekahi o kēia poʻe loea i loko o ka ʻeke o ka ʻoihana pesticide. Manaʻo mākou e noʻonoʻo ka EPA i nā hopena o ka imidacloprid i nā kānaka a me nā pi. (E ʻae ʻia nā manaʻo a hiki i Malaki 14, 2016)
