Oppose the debate on the topic: Neonicotinoids are contributing to the collapse of bee colonies and should thus be banned for use in Ontario.
I’m taking a course about the environmental issues
I have a debate assignment on the topic
1. Neonicotinoids are contributing to the collapse of bee colonies and should thus be banned for use in Ontario.
I’m in the opposing team and we already prepared 2 arguments points that oppose the idea of( Neonicotinoids are contributing to the collapse of bee colonies and should thus be banned for use in Ontario)
please prepare a one page (5 Min talk) about our third argument point which is :: An immediate ban on all neonicotinoids use in Ontario may cause more harm to the agriculture industry and farmers than good.
Please cover the following points with (2-3) Studies,evidences,statistics to support each of the following points.
1-Farmers may resort to using alternative chemicals (bad) pesticides again (carbmates ,organophosphates and maybe pyrethroids? )that are older, less effective and more harmful that may prove more dangerous than neonicotinoids.
2- No evidence that there were any bee population rebounds
3-Integrated pest management strategies and regulations where the use of neonics is used based on need and evidence of a pest problem
4-Another problem you can think of may caused by banning?
5- try to include few neonictinoids usage benefits(3 sentences or less)
