Sugar beet is not a flowering crop & this order places strict controls on its use, including a prohibition on any flowering crop being planted in the same field where the product has been used within 22 months or 32 months for oilseed rape. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite speculation, this has nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit. 13 EU countries have already been granted emergency orders for the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments this year, meaning around 60% of sugar beet grown in the EU will be under a derogation in 2021. — PolitiTweet.org

The product will be used as a seed treatment rather than a spray. Combined with the fact that sugar beet is not attractive to bees & other pollinators as it doesn’t flower, @DefraGovUK have judged that “the risks are acceptably low enough that the benefits outweigh them”. — PolitiTweet.org
