A QuEChERS method with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was modified and validated for the determination of florasulam and pyroxsulam residues in wheat grain and straw. The validated method was applied to cereals including oat, millet, corn and rice. Average recoveries were 76-113% with RSDs 2-15%. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 0.005 mg/kg for wheat grain and 0.01 mg/kg for wheat straw and four cereals. Ion suppression for florasulam (−28% to −76%) was observed in all the matrices except corn, whereas ion enhancement were shown for pyroxsulam (44% to 83%). Degradation rates of florasulam and pyroxsulam were 6% and 23%, respectively, in wheat grain and straw after eight-week storage at −20°C. The ultimate residues in field trials in ten regions were all ≤0.05 mg/kg, and long term dietary risk assessment indicated that hazard quotients were 0.02% and 0.001% for florasulam and pyroxsulam, respectively, which shows that it is safe to spray the two herbicides on wheat.
