Evidence shows there are no significant yield losses from planting seeds without neonic coatings. While the agrichemical industry claims farmers “carefully select the right pesticide for each pest and crop at issue” and “only use pesticides as a last resort,” when it comes to neonics, that is false in most cases. This is true.
