Two-year field data on neonicotinoid concentrations in guttation drops of seed treated maize (Zea mays).

ABSTRACT: We present neonicotinoid concentrations in guttation drops of commonly used maize (Zea mays) cultivars, germinated from seeds coated with active substances (a.s.): i) imidacloprid (IMD), ii) clothianidin (CTN) and iii) thiamethoxam (THM) over two growing seasons. In one variant clothianidin was applied as seed granule. The trial took place at the experimental fields of the Julius Kühn-Institut in Berlin in 2010 and 2011. Data from 2010 are related to a presentation of "Pesticides in guttation droplets following seed treatment - field studies" (Schenke et al., 2011) [1] presented at the SETAC North America conference and only some figures were used in the "Scientific opinion on the science behind the development of a risk assessement of plant protection products on bees (Apis mell
