Dissipation Kinetics of Trinexapac Acid in Paddy Leaves, Grain, Straw and Soil Using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry.

Field experiments were conducted to investigate the dissipation and persistence residues of trinexapac acid in paddy crop. The treatments consisted of one control and two different concentrations of Trinexapac-ethyl 25% EC (Emulsifiable concentrate) at 30 and 60 g a.i.

Dissipation kinetics of imidacloprid in cotton flower, nectariferous tissue, pollen and Apis mellifera products using QuEChERS method.

Background: Exposure of Apis mellifera to neonicotinoid insecticides is one of the factors attributed to the recent decline in A. mellifera populations resulting in economic and ecological losses due to loss of pollination services. Honey bees can get exposed to neonicotinoids like imidacloprid directly in the field at the time of application as well as during consumption of pollen and nectar from treated plants.
