Statement on the emergency authorisation for limited use of a neonicotinoid seed treatment for the 2023/24 sugar beet crop

23 January 2023


We welcome DEFRA’s decision to approve our joint application for the emergency usage of a neonicotinoid seed treatment in 2023, should it be required, subject to the outcome of the Rothamstead Virus Yellows model, which will be known on 1st March 2023.

We are currently reviewing all associated documentation, and waiting for the stewardship conditions associated with this authorisation. Once digested, we will comment further in the coming days.
