Change in bacterial community of soil under neonicotinoid addition and oil seed rape cropping

Neonicotinoid pesticides are widely used within agroecosystems. Due to their systemic nature and high solubility, neonicotinoids are frequently recorded in soil, water, untreated plant matter and non-target organisms. In this study we investigated the effect of a commercial neonicotinoid pesticide (Insyst) on the abundance, richness, and community composition of both meso- and microfauna within soil.
