A biosensor based on alfalfa sprout (Medicago sativa) homogenate as a source of peroxidase is proposed for the determination of thiodicarb by square-wave voltammetry. This enzyme was immobilized in self-assembled monolayers of l-cysteine on a gold electrode. Several parameters were investigated to evaluate the optimum conditions for operation of the biosensor. The analytical curve was linear for thiodicarb concentrations of 2.27 x 10(-6) to 4.40 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) with a detection limit of 5.75 x 10(-7) mol L(-1). The lifetime of the Au-alfalfa sprout-SAMs was 20 days (at least 220 determinations). The average recovery of thiodicarb from samples of vegetable extracts ranged from 99.02 to 101.04%. The results obtained for thiodicarb in vegetable extracts using the proposed method are in close agreement with those using a high performance liquid chromatography procedure at the 95% confidence level.

Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) an invasive mealybug on cotton is primarily controlled by conventional insecticides. An endoparasitoid Aenasius arizonenesis (Girault) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) is a potential biocontrol agent of this pest. We assessed the susceptibility in field populations of P.

The health problems caused by water pollution cannot be ignored, and the contribution of pesticides to water pollution has also become increasingly unignorable. The modified semi-coke as an adsorbent for reducing pesticide pollution to water was obtained from activated semi-coke which was modified by nitric acid (HNO). The semi-coke was obtained by carbonization using 60 mesh walnut shell powder.

In this study, FeNi magnetic alloy nanoparticles (MANPs) were employed for the forensic analysis of four poisons-dimethametryn, napropamide, thiodicarb, and strychnine-using surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS). FeNi MANPs were prepared via coprecipitation using two reducing agents, sodium borohydride (NaBH) and hydrazine monohydrate (NH·HO), to optimize the prepared MANPs and investigate their effect on the performance of SALDI-MS analysis. Thereafter, SALDI-MS analysis was carried out for the detection of three pesticides and a rodenticide.
