Analysis of methoxyfenozide residues in fruits, vegetables, and mint by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Methoxyfenozide [3-methoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid 2-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-2-(1,1-dimethylethyl) hydrazide; RH-2485], in the formulation of INTREPID, was applied to various crops. Analysis of methoxyfenozide was accomplished by utilizing liquid-liquid extraction and partitioning, followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Method validations for fruits, vegetables, and mint are reported.

Analysis of fenhexamid in caneberry, blueberry, and pomegranate by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

An analytical method for the determination of fenhexamid [N-(2,3-dichloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methylcyclohexanecarboxamide] in caneberry, blueberry, and pomegranate was developed utilizing acetone extraction, column cleanup, liquid-liquid partitioning, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS) for detection. Method validation recoveries ranged from 91 to 96% for caneberry, from 80 to 91% for blueberry, and from 74 to 95% for pomegranate. Control samples collected from IR-4 trials for all matrixes had residue levels of <0.
