全球約有35%的食物產量,均依靠傳粉者例如蜜蜂等支撐而成。而甲蟲、蟻蛉等昆蟲則幫忙捕食蛀食農作物的害蟲,讓農作物得以健康成長。387Please respect copyright.PENANAE6id2scTA2

在這個層面上,農作物所使用的化學殺蟲劑,究竟會否對益蟲造成傷害?387Please respect copyright.PENANAdG0cOWywGb
387Please respect copyright.PENANAru8tc785Us
(圖2)Neonicotinoid insecticides為舊式殺蟲劑的一種,內含的Neonicotinoid物質會與昆蟲神經線內的NAChRs結合,引致昆蟲的神經系統癱瘓而致死。387Please respect copyright.PENANA0rGqOPnz93

因著其擁有對昆蟲無差別的攻擊特性,益蟲害蟲均會送命。387Please respect copyright.PENANAzNVzUAJhKQ
正因如此,全球均已有措施禁用此類殺蟲劑,以歐盟EU地區最為嚴厲。387Please respect copyright.PENANAtlpLtrofBx
387Please respect copyright.PENANA3UvjPblzef
題外話,人類與昆蟲的NAChRs有著結構式的分別,所以殺蟲劑對人類的傷害相對上較細。387Please respect copyright.PENANA3xrPhUXD64
387Please respect copyright.PENANAFCfNUeIPSU
(圖3)基於舊式殺蟲劑的禁用,新式殺蟲劑已開始廣泛使用。387Please respect copyright.PENANAfHp9BtAyIn
387Please respect copyright.PENANADE9kGwmLFg
387Please respect copyright.PENANATgRd7KOxX6
Butanolide and sulfoximine-based insecticides為兩款新式的殺蟲劑,但其殺害昆蟲的原理跟舊式一模一樣。387Please respect copyright.PENANAkWzBKpG3Dy
387Please respect copyright.PENANATY4YlzJkQa
新式與舊式重大的分別在於其化學結構的不同,根據IRAC(Insecticide Resistance Action Committee)的分類方式,舊式殺蟲劑界定為4A組別,而新式殺蟲劑界定為4C及4D組別。387Please respect copyright.PENANAXgZBTx1qmF
387Please respect copyright.PENANApXRGoS6VVB
387Please respect copyright.PENANAHoc1nxTVO0
(圖4)那麼新式殺蟲劑除化學分類組別的不同之外,對比舊式殺蟲劑還有甚麼過人之處呢?387Please respect copyright.PENANAcEGKMzpx01
387Please respect copyright.PENANA3PQKVIYDzl
387Please respect copyright.PENANAiOHhWydgki
答案是接近沒有過人之處,它們對益蟲依舊造成傷害。387Please respect copyright.PENANAj7e7LlHCiG
387Please respect copyright.PENANAMqIvRJFXm2
Flupyradifurone的穩定性與舊式殺蟲劑接近一樣,能長年積累在環境裡頭。387Please respect copyright.PENANA97bhJ83Gg5
387Please respect copyright.PENANAb46LIZ4qTH
以蜜蜂為例,雖然低劑量不會對東方蜜蜂(Apis cerana)造成重大修亡,但同等劑量會引致西方蜜蜂(A. mellifera)大量死亡。387Please respect copyright.PENANAYFYkwscspf
387Please respect copyright.PENANA3fk8gRsBSc
相對上,另一款新式殺蟲劑Sulfoxaflor的穩定性則有所減低,2-3日後在大自然的濃度會減退50%。387Please respect copyright.PENANAparONkTrHn
奈何它對蜜蜂生育率造成顯著的不良影響,歐洲熊蜂(B. terrestris)在低劑量的影響下,生蛋率及幼蟲孵化率分別下降31及40%。387Please respect copyright.PENANAttFLuzNyuF
387Please respect copyright.PENANAC0vNKQNGYl
387Please respect copyright.PENANADqLqZtdBwN
顯然,新式化學殺蟲劑並沒有改善舊式殺蟲劑的問題。387Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5Ze02Os7A
387Please respect copyright.PENANAVzwnT7xzUS
在審核殺蟲劑安全性的時候,往往只會對數款昆蟲作出毒性的檢驗,但大自然的昆蟲品種何其之多,加上昆蟲本身的獨特性,對一款益蟲無害並不等於對另一款無害,因此難以評估真實對大自然的影響。387Please respect copyright.PENANAhZcZPqgUlW
387Please respect copyright.PENANAgRPQkR4Mlc
同時間,現有的評核制度並沒有估核對昆蟲往後的生育影響,這將是一道值得深思應否加進評核殺蟲劑安全性的條件之一。387Please respect copyright.PENANAOeiYP7Cd2c
