Further Information

Xylem-mobile. EPA (2011) references potential toxic effects to brood since acetamiprid is an ovicide. Honey bee larvae show greater sensitivity to acetamiprid than adults. Persistence value shown is for field dissipation, however, EPA (2011) utilized half-life values of up to 383 days for aerobic soil metabolism for the parent, major degradate IM-1-4, and unextracted residues. Recent changes in proposed uses after 2021 Endangered Species review are not yet reflected.
