The dissipation and removal of the etofenprox residue was studied in spring onion grown under greenhouse conditions. Samples of spring onion were collected at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 days after last application, and removal rates of etofenprox by washing and drying processes were measured. Samples were extracted with acetone and partitioned with dichloromethane. The dichloromethane layer was then concentrated, cleaned up with florisil column chromatography, and analyzed with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UVD). At the fortification levels of 0.5, 1.0, and 10 mg/kg, recoveries ranged from 92.0 to 107.7%, with a coefficient of variation of 4.3-7.9% (n = 3). The method limit of quantification (MLOQ) was found to be 0.05 mg/kg in spring onion. The half-lives of etofenprox in spring onion were found to be 9.5 and 7.9 days, at the single or double application rates. Removal rates of etofenprox were 21.6-43.9 and 66.6-88.5% by various washing or drying processes, respectively.

Selenium Biofortification of Vegetables Grown in Calcareous Soil: A Pot Experiment Using Se as a Tracer.
Biol Trace Elem Res
December 2024
Division of Agriculture and Environmental Science, School of Biosciences, University of Nottingham, Sutton Bonington Campus, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE12 5RD, UK.
Dietary selenium (Se) is vital for human health and can be provided through consumption of Se-rich vegetables. Soil Se is often poorly available and so biofortification using Se-enriched fertilizers is used to enhance dietary intake. This study aimed to (a) evaluate the feasibility of biofortifying vegetables, commonly grown in the calcareous soils of Kurdistan, with a single application of Se (10 g ha) as selenate and, (b) trace the fate of applied Se using an enriched stable isotope, ⁷⁷Se.

Introduction: The demand and consumption of vegetables are significantly increasing worldwide, which has resulted in urban farming on anthropogenic sites. This study assessed the concentrations of some selected heavy metals in lettuce and spring onion in line with the WHO/FAO required standard and its implications on human health.
Methods: The study was carried out in Kumasi, within moist semi-deciduous forest vegetation, Ghana.

Article Synopsis
- A new microscopy technique called B-SRS uses Bessel light bullets to achieve high-resolution 3D chemical imaging in deep tissue without mechanical z-scanning.
- This method generates counter-propagating pump and Stokes light bullets with ultraslow and tunable velocities, enabling better optical sectioning.
- The B-SRS system has demonstrated over two-fold improved imaging depth in porcine brain tissue compared to traditional methods and can be applied to various biological samples and other imaging technologies.
Nitrate levels in vegetables from markets in Tehran, Iran.

This study is aimed at measuring nitrate levels in different vegetables from Tehran's markets that are consumed raw and fresh and to evaluate human health risk. Basil, parsley, radish leaves, cress, leek, radish, spring onion were randomly collected from local markets and the nitrate content was analysed by spectrophotometry. Average nitrate levels in the samples were 40.
