Abstract:

In order to research the residue behavior of thiamethoxam in Chinese flowering cabbage, the final residue trials of thiamethoxam in Chinese flowering cabbage were carried out in five provinces and one city, and the dissipation dynamic trials were carried out in two provinces. Samples were purified by solid phase extraction column, detected by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), and quantified by external standard method. The results showed that the recoveries of thiamethoxam and its metabolite clothianidin were 89%-102% and 93%-100%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 5.8%-8.5% and 4.0%-9.5%, under the spiked levels of 0.01-1 mg/kg. The limit of quantification (LOQ) of thiamethoxam and its metabolite clothianidin was 0.01 mg/kg. The half-lives of thiamethoxam in Chinese flowering cabbage were 1.2 and 1.8 days in Shandong Province and Anhui Province, respectively. The results of final residue trials in five provinces and one city showed that the residue level of thiamethoxam in Chinese flowering cabbage was <LOQ~0.125mg/kg 10 days after application when the dosage was 56.25-84.375 g a.i./hm2 and the application was 2 to 3 times. The recommended application of 25% thiamethoxam WG to control Phyllotreta striolata in Chinese flowering cabbage was 2 times at the maximum dosage of 56.25 a.i.g/hm2 with a safe interval of 7 days.
