I have a unit of neonic dressed seed left from 2018 - will it be ok to use, or will the germination have dropped too much? Bit late to do a tray test, should have thought earlier!

I wouldn't use it.
I used some 3 year old seed a number of years ago all in two seed hoppers and had blanks half way across a field.
Luckily not in direct view of a road but next to the yard so I had to look at my error every day.
