A new sample preparation method was developed for auxin-like herbicide clopyralid residue in agricultural products. The method uses extraction with sulfuric acid - acidified acetonitrile, with cleanup of sample extracts using solid-phase extraction (diatomaceous earth) and micro liquid-liquid extraction, followed by ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). This sample preparation method greatly reduces the influence on ionization during determination with UPLC-MS/MS. Quantification was achieved using external calibrators prepared in matrix-free 0.1% formic acid. The proposed analytical method supported good recovery of 73.7-91.4% with less than 8% relative standard deviation. Method quantification limits (MQL) of samples were 0.6-1.0 ng g. The method was applied to determine clopyralid residue in several crop samples. The herbicide was detected as near the MQLs in all samples.

Background: 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and other auxinic herbicides are important for weed control in cropping systems globally. Weeds with resistance to 2,4-D and other auxinic herbicides have evolved, including several populations of Sonchus oleraceus from multiple sites in Australia. We report the underlying mechanism in these populations that gives rise to auxinic herbicide resistance.

In addressing the critical challenges posed by the misuse and inefficiency of traditional pesticides, we introduce a Nano-Cocrystal material composed of the herbicide clopyralid and coformer phenazine. Developed through synergistic supramolecular self-assembly and mechanochemical nanotechnology, this Nano-Cocrystal significantly enhances pesticide performance. It exhibits a marked improvement in stability, with reductions in hygroscopicity and volatility by approximately 38%.

Although many organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been banned or restricted because of their persistence and linkage to neurodegenerative diseases, there is evidence of continued human exposure. In contrast, registered herbicides are reported to have a moderate to low level of toxicity; however, there is little information regarding their toxicity to humans or their combined effects with OCPs. This study aimed to characterize the mechanism of toxicity of banned OCP insecticides (aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, and lindane) and registered herbicides (trifluralin, triallate, and clopyralid) detected at a legacy contaminated pesticide manufacturing and packing site using SH-SY5Y cells.

The application of herbicides in soil has been noted for its detrimental effect on the soil microbial community, crucial for various biochemical processes. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the impact of butisanstar and clopyralid herbicides, both individually and in combination at different dosage (recommended field dose (RFD), ½, 2 and 5-times RFD). The assessment focuses on soil basal respiration (SBR), cumulative microbial respiration (CMR), and the activities dehydrogenase (DH), catalase (CAT), urease, acid and alkaline phosphatases (Ac-P and Alk-P) enzymes, along with their variations on days 10, 30, 60, and 90 post-herbicide application.

This study established a residue detection method based on the QuEChERS pre-treatment method and combined it with high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to test six herbicides (metamitron, clopyralid, desmedipham, phenmedipham, ethofumesate, and haloxyfop-p-methyl) in sugar beet plants, soil, and roots. The degradation dynamics and terminal residues of each herbicide in sugar beets were analysed. Finally, the dietary risks of various herbicides in sugar beets were evaluated based on the dietary structure of Chinese people, and the risk quotient values were below 100%.
