My response to a recent article in the @nypost that criticized our lab's research on neonicotinoid insecticides. The intent of the article was to spread disinformation, fool the public, and influence policymakers. Please don't be fooled, folks.

New study out in @JAppliedEcology led by former postdoc Ashley Leach. We show that implementing IPPM on commercial watermelon farms can virtually eliminate insecticide use (from 22 total sprays down to 1) while increasing pollination & yields! 🍉🐝 doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.14…
