Abstract
Dissipation kinetics of chlorantraniliprole was studied in sandy loam soils of sugarcane ecosystem by adopting a rapid analytical method. The recovery of chlorantraniliprole was 91.67 % when extracted with ethyl acetate as against only 65.58 % in acetonitrile-based extraction. An additional cleanup step with primary secondary amine did not enhance the recovery significantly over the no-cleanup method. The ethyl acetate-based extraction followed by direct quantification in HPLC (High-performance liquid chromatography) without any cleanup facilitated rapid quantification of chlorantraniliprole residues. The LOQ (limit of quantification) of the method was 0.01 μg/g. The half-life of chlorantraniliprole was 6.50 and 6.81 days for the recommended and double the recommended doses, respectively.
