Abstract:
Objectives:
To determine a no-effect level for zooplankton communities exposed to
Neem concentrations in replicate pond enclosures; to determine the fate
of Neem (azadirachtin) in the pond enclosures, water and bottom sediments;
and, to assess the ecological significance of perturbations to zooplankton
communities.
Location:
Sault Ste. Marie
Key Deliverables:
Paper- Fate and effects of Neem in pond enclosures; Journal Articles -
Effects of Neem on zooplankton community structure and productivity in
pond enclosures; and, Ecological implications of perturbations to zooplankton
communities from exposure to Neem insecticides.
Expected Benefits:
The data will be used in a risk assessment to determine the environmental
safety of Neem-based insecticides for forestry as part of the registration
process.
Sources of Funding:
Enhanced Timber Production and Protection Network.
