Dissipation Kinetics, Decontamination and Safety Evaluation of Quinalphos Residues in Cauliflower Curd.

A field experiment was conducted to study the persistence and reduction of quinalphos residues in cauliflower curd by applying quinalphos 25 EC twice at 250 g a.i./ha at 10 days intervals.

Development of novel rapid-growing and delicious Pleurotus djamor strains through hybridization.

The development of fast-growing/short cropping period oyster mushroom (Pleurotus species) having good taste is one of the important needs of mushroom growers. Pleurotus djamor strain woody1, collected recently from the dead wood, has a short cropping period of 30 days but a moderately acceptable taste. One of the cultivated Pleurotus spp.

Determination of 73 multi-class pesticides in okra ( L.) fruits using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS and estimation of analytical uncertainty of measurement.

This study developed a method to simultaneously determine 73 multi-class pesticides in okra fruit using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS. The sample was extracted with acetonitrile and subsequent clean-up through dispersive-SPE method. The quantification level of the technique was 0.

Determination of imidacloprid in brinjal and okra fruits, decontamination and its dietary risk assessment.

Brinjal and okra are being sprayed withdifferent formulations of imidacloprid which leads to significant deposition of residues on fruits. Here in this study, we validated a method that could detect the traces of imidacloprid residues in a short run time using LC-MS/MS. LOD of 0.
