| description | In the context of growing concerns about the impact of neonicotinoids on bee populations and biodiversity in general, the European Union has implemented measures to ban these substances. The paper studies the impact of the prohibition of neonicotinoid treatment on the main crops in Romania: sunflower, autumn cereals and corn. The analysis sought to identify the effects of the ban through a rigorous methodological approach, using data from a wide range of sources, including official EU reports, published scientific studies and national agricultural statistical data. Field data obtained through direct observation in various regions of Romania were also included. Through the Regulations it has adopted over time, the European Union has tried to reach an agreement both with beekeepers and especially with European farmers, who, year after year, face the attacks of soil pests for the main crops namely: sunflower, corn and cereals. The main results and conclusions of our study demonstrate the effectiveness of the neonicotinoid ban in protecting bee populations and biodiversity but also highlight the complexity of the transition to alternative agricultural practices. Our results suggest the need for integrated policy and support strategies to ensure a sustainable transition without compromising agricultural productivity. |
