Abstract

This paper aims to apply a modified QuEChERS method of mertribuzin extraction from sugarcane plant parts, soils. The quantification of metribuzin was carried out by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector. The method was validated by evaluating the analytical curve, linearity, limits of detection and limits of quantification, precision (repeatability) and accuracy (recovery), after the optimization of extraction parameters for the determination of metribuzin. The method provided limits of quantification in the range of 0.05-0.10 mg kg–1 for different matrices with the method detection limit of 0.03 mg kg–1 for all matrices. The developed method was applied to study the metribuzin persistence in sugarcane plant parts and soil from the field experimentation which received two different doses of metribuzin along with control. It was found that the residue of metribuzin in soil and sugarcane parts were below the detection limit (0.03 mg kg–1) except at the higher dose of application.
