Over a 4-year period, Dr Jacobson led a specialist independent team, funded by the Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board, studying the evidence upon which that decision was based as well as practical and financial implications for the tomato industry. A peer-reviewed paper a hrefhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00218839.2019.1637238 target_blank>Chandler et al (2019)/a> concluded that there was insufficient reliable and consistent evidence to support claims that the use of such bumblebees was harmful to wild populations of B. terrestris in the UK. Furthermore, the genetics of B. terrestris are now known to be complex with existing hybridisation between ‘sub-species’ a hrefhttps://horticulture.ahdb.org.uk/knowledge-library/tomato-an-investigation-into-poor-pollination-performance-by-the-native-bumblebee-bombus-terrestris-audax target_blank>AHDB Knowledge Library/a>.

Some British growers, who had suffered serious damage up to that point, eradicated the pest and have since remained completely free from infestation. However, some growers have reported a loss of efficacy of this technology and there were concerns that use of the pheromone may have selected for parthenogenesis (i.e. the ability to produce offspring without mating). A paper is now available on-line which reports a small, but significant, increase in parthenogenesis, as well as changes in other life history traits, associated with the use of the pheromone.
