Research from Macquarie University shows that the widely used fungicide chlorothalonil significantly harms insect fertility and survival even at minimal residue levels, threatening pollination and ecosystem balance, and highlighting the need for reduced pesticide use and better regulation.
Research shows that the widely used fungicide chlorothalonil, common in Australian agriculture, significantly harms beneficial insects like fruit flies even at low levels, potentially contributing to the global insect decline known as the 'insect apocalypse.' The study highlights the need for more sustainable farming practices and further research on chemical impacts on non-target species.
