The applicability of a rapid and easy multiresidue method for determination of pesticide residues in agricultural products by using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) was examined. Pesticide residues were extracted with acetonitrile in a disposable tube using a homogenizer, followed by salting out with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and sodium chloride. The extract was purified with a double-layered cartridge column (graphite carbon black/primary-secondary amine silica gel). After removal of the solvent, the extract was resolved in methanol-water and analyzed with LC/MS/MS. Recovery tests of 99 pesticide residues from 7 agricultural products were performed at 20 and 100 ng/g. Throughout all of the agricultural products tested, 47 pesticides exhibited satisfactory recoveries (70-120%) and relative standard deviations (<20%) at both concentrations. The time for processing of 12 samples to test solutions was approximately 2-3 h. This method could be useful for determination of pesticide residues in agricultural products.

Imidacloprid (IMI) stress positively correlates with the potential of coumarins to alleviate abiotic stress. However, little is known about the pathways and mechanisms by which coumarin reduces the IMI residue by regulating plant secondary metabolism and plant-microbe interactions. This study examined the impact of coumarin on the uptake, translocation, and metabolism of IMI in pepper plants by modulating the signal molecule levels and microbial communities in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere.

An efficient modified QuEChERS procedure was established for the simultaneous determination of 37 pesticide residues in fresh and processed edible button mushroom by employing GC/ GC-MS and LC-MS/MS. The effectiveness, reliability and accuracy of the method were assessed through validation parameters such as linearity, LOD, LOQ, precision, accuracy, uncertainty, and matrix effect. The linearity calibration for all the selected pesticides at standard concentrations (0.

Organicphosphorus is a ubiquitous pesticide that has potential hazards to human health and environmental well-being. Therefore, the precise identification of residues of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) emerges as an urgent necessity. A ratiometric fluorescent sensor for the detection of OPs by leveraging the catalytic activities of Ce and Ce on the two fluorescent substrates 4-Methylumbelliferyl phosphate (4-MUP) and o-phenylenediamine (OPD) correspondingly was designed.

Uncontrolled use of pesticides in agriculture leads to negative consequences for the environment, as well as for human and animal health. Therefore, timely detection of pesticides will allow application of measures to eliminate the excess of maximum residue limits and reduce possible negative consequences in advance. Common methods of pesticide analysis suffer from high costs, and are time consuming, and labor intensive.

Imidacloprid, a key neonicotinoid insecticide for pest control, is widely used in various crops, including peanuts. This study aimed to fill research gaps by analysing the residue behaviour of imidacloprid in peanut fields treated with flowable concentrate for seed treatment (FS) formulations while assessing potential risks to human health and ecosystems. A validated analytical method, using QuEChERS separation and UPLC-MS/MS detection, reliably quantified imidacloprid residues in peanuts and soil.
