Many different pesticides are used in flower bulb cultivation, while the widespread use of pesticides and other crop protection products is a major cause of pollution,” Rosetta Moore and Duncan Plumb wrote on behalf of GroenLinks. “Crop protection products pollute water, soil and air, They lead to loss of biodiversity, and ultimately make pests resistant to control. Individuals exposed to chemical pesticides are at risk of developing chronic diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, respiratory disorders, and neurological disorders (European Environment Agency, 2024).
By growing organic flower bulbs, fewer pesticides are used, Moore and Plumb say. “It would be a step in the right direction if Westland municipality restricted the use of organic flower lights in public places.”
