Abstract: | A liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric (LC/MS) method is reported for the determination of the onium-type plant growth regulator mepiquat chloride in cotton and soil. The pesticide was extracted from the sample with ethanol and water containing 2% NH4Cl. The extract was cleaned up on a solid-phase extraction C18 column, and the pesticide was determined by LC/MS. The average recoveries were 85.9-93.8, 81.3-91.7, and 78.1-94.7%, with corresponding relative standard deviations of 3.4-9.6, 3.7-12.3, and 4.0-9.8%, from soil, cotton leaves, and cotton seeds, respectively. A coefficient of determination of R2 = 0.9964 was obtained for the analyte calibration graph, from 0.05 to 100 microg/mL. Decision limits, CCalpha, and detection capability, CCbeta, were calculated. Electrospray ionization LC/MS in the positive-ion mode (ESI+) was used to detect mepiquat chloride in extracts of soil, cotton leaves, and cotton seeds. The ion at m/z 114 in the mass spectrum was monitored. |
