Herbicide activity of monosulfuron and its mode of action.

Monosulfuron was developed for weed control in the field of wheat (Triticum, aestivum L.) and millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) with the application rate ranging from 15 to 60 g ai/hm2.

Residue analysis and dissipation of monosulfuron in soil and wheat.

HPL-UV residue analytical method for monosulfuron [N-[(4'-methyl) pyrimidin-2'yl]-2-nitrophenylsulfonyl urea] in soil and wheat was developed. Monosulfuron residues were recovered by solvent extraction, followed by liquid-liquid partition, and C18 cartrige clean-up. Excellent method recoveries ranging from 95%-104% for both fortified soil and wheat grain were obtained with coefficients of variation 1.

[Determination of 15 organophosphorus pesticides in cucumber, tomato and pepper samples by capillary gas chromatography with gel permeation chromatographic clean-up].

Fifteen organophosphorus pesticide residues in vegetable samples were extracted and cleaned-up by gel permeation chromatography and detected by capillary GC-FPD. An alternative validation method was established based on GC-NPD detection on an HP-1701 column. The eluting profiles of 15 compounds on a gel permeation column (10 mm i.
