A simple and reliable analytical method for chlormequat residues in cotton and soil was established in this study. The residual levels and dissipation rates of chlormequat in cotton crops and soil were determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (HPLC-MS). The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.05, 0.1, 0.1mg/kg for soil, cotton seeds and cotton leaves, respectively. The mean half-life of chlormequat was 4.47 days in cotton plants and was 4.34 days in soil. The final residues of chlormequat in cotton seeds were below 0.5mg/kg (the MRL of China), while the chlormequat residues could not be detected in soil. Low residues in cotton seed and soil suggest that this pesticide may be safe to use under the recommended dosage.

Chlormequat chloride (CCC), as a commonly used plant growth regulator in the production of rhizomatous medicinal herbs, can effectively control the bolting phenomenon in , significantly increasing the yield of underground rhizomes (medicinal part). However, its specific effects on the intrinsic quality of , especially medicinal components, require further investigation. The objective of this study is to conduct a thorough examination of CCC residue and its influence on the yield and medicinal components of .

The presence of pesticide residues in has raised an extensive concern. In this paper, based on a 3-year monitoring survey, the dietary exposure risks through consumption for different population subgroups were assessed using both deterministic and semi-probabilistic approaches under the best-case and the worst-case scenarios. Among the 52 targeted pesticides, 28 different compounds were identified in the concentration range of 0.

In this study, a simple, rapid and sensitive method was developed for the simultaneous determination of chlormequat, fosetyl-aluminium and phosphonic acid residues in maize and soybean using liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Analytes were extracted with acetic acid solution, purified on an HLB column, and then filtered through a 0.2 μm hydrophilic microporous filter membrane.

Presently, the utilization of chlormequat in Bunge (Leguminosae) cultivation is prevalent for augmenting rhizome (Astragali Radix) yield. However, indiscriminate and excessive chlormequat employment can detrimentally influence Astragali Radix quality and safety. This research aimed to comprehensively comprehend chlormequat risks and its influence on Astragali Radix metabolites.
